See, unlike most hackers, I get little joy out of figuring out how to install the latest toy.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.

On the other hand, there would be some value in different folks getting together to share expertise and technology; but to the listener, it wouldn't necessarily seem like a single station in the traditional sense.

Mostly I use the O2 as an X terminal, however, running my apps on Linux and displaying remotely.

Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that's the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS, and you don't have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway!

Nothing stands still. The real question is can you change it?
