DIG THAT! Talk about selling out for bucks... It is time for folks to get back in the trenches and screw the happy 'push the button, oh! Look how simple we have made Linux for you!' bullshit... Linux is for geeks PLAIN AND SIMPLE. And if it is to stay free and open then it is up to everyone who uses it to teach others how to without the mumbojumbo and holier than thou attitude so prevalent on so many sites! (Which I am proud to report I do not see in prevalence on this LUG! Give yourselves an 'atta boy/girl' folks!!!) We have to share more info and resource material... with those 'out there' ya know, the person down the road who bought Linux, 'cause it's cool... but can't tell you one thing about his file system! And you have to know the 'enemy'... ignorance... that is the only real enemy, and if folks are going to gain control of computing and systems... Linux is the way. Now I am not cussing you... I am just on a soapbox!!! And I am mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore... To hell with windows to hell with Microsoft!!! Lock yourself in the lab and don't come out until you know the kernel source code by heart (that is what I am doing!!! before I build my next box!!!) and can manipulate it to your liking!!! How's that for radical??? (LOL) Oh, yeah~ we hot now baby! O yeah! Put on the penguin suit... pack a lunch stay the day!!! When tyranny is law... revolution is order... Yippie!!! Damn, bet I forgot to take my lithium... I am off the box... bye. Manuel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
