My encounter with Linux was somewhat similar but mostly from having enough with windoze. I had called a PC repair guru for the third time because of virus's on my windoze PC in 2007. He told me about a Linux but I was skeptical thinking it was more for the uber elite hackers. I tried out the Knoppix CD and then installed SuSE. I was hooked immediately. Much like the article writer's hook with being my own "superuser".
For those that haven't seen Revolution OS I would highly recommend it for much of the Linux backstory.

- gegtik 11y agoamazing that in 2015 people are still saying stuff like "windoze", "micro$haft", etc.
- yellowapple 11y agoAin't that what they're supposed to be called? :)
- roghummal 11y ago>amazing It really isn't.
- WalterGR 11y agoYup. Slashdot is still one of the ~1,500 most popular sites on the web.
- larrydag 11y agoI'll give you that. I did it without thinking. Yet my experience with windows has been really awful. I've had various issues including viruses, firewalls, bloatware, support deprecation to name a few. I guess I'm really happy with the Linux distributions I use. That said Microsoft is still an innovative company. They still create good applications and have robust data software.
