I want my office to be quiet. The loudest thing in the room - by far - should be the occasional purring of the cat.

Fairly cheap home computing was what changed my life.

I'm interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn't started as any kind of rebellion against the 'evil Microsoft empire.'

I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.

Let's put it this way: if you need to ask a lawyer whether what you do is "right" or not, you are morally corrupt. Let's not go there. We don't base our morality on law.

I've tried it a couple of times over the years, mainly because the thing Ubuntu did so well was make Debian usable. I always felt that Debian was a pointless exercise because to me, the point of a distribution is to make everything easy. Easy to install, to be pretty and to be friendly and Ubuntu did that to Debian.

I've been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat.
