The install was much easier than any Windows installation has ever been for me. I didn't have to configure sound card, video card or network card. RedHat did it for me so that I was up and running after reboot. -- David Cross *********************** What Life Means to Me As a high school student I discovered I wanted more than where my life was heading. Even though I didn't drink alcohol, I went to drinking parties each weekend and they became my life. I loved the party atmosphere and the feeling of getting away with something. I found that the rest of the week was just space that had to be filled so that I could get to the weekend. Strangely enough, some friends challenged me to read the Bible for half an hour each day and I took them up on it. When I read the Bible I realized that my life was really empty. The best thing about my life was simply going to these parties, but I wanted more than that. As I read the Bible, I realized more than just the emptiness of my life. I realized that if I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I could get a grip on meaning in my life and I could even help others. One of the struggles I had with this was that I didn't like church. I'd never found a church that was the "perfect church" and I didn't have an interest in looking. However, those same friends that challenged me to read the Bible challenged me to try going to church each week. I decided that since those friends were right about reading the Bible and the meaning that Jesus gave my life, I guessed they might be right about church, too, so I gave it a try. I went to church with those friends and I found a real place that I loved to be. I loved learning so much about Christ that my half hour Bible reading grew into hours each day. I finally felt that I had found the meaning that I was looking for. It wasn't because I was reading so much or because I went to my church's youth group. The meaning I found was in learning so much more about Jesus Christ each time I opened the Bible or met with other Christians. Jesus became my closest friend and I wanted to spend as much time with Him as I could. One thing that I knew I needed to leave behind was the wild parties. Surprisingly, God helped me to leave them all at once. He even gave me the chance to tell some of my friends from those parties about Christ and Christ changed some of their lives, too. Honestly, Christ has given me a reason to live. The change he has made in my life is dramatic proof that He is real and that He made me new just as the Bible says He would do. I know the difference He has made in my life, so I want to give others the truth that makes people new.
