My Linux is not your Linux
To the denizens of comp.os.linux.advocacy! So many people demonstrate in this newsgroup that they know only a Linux of Hatred and Greed, of paranoia, and of a selfish sense of entitlement. They seem always to be behaving like monkeys in reaction to human dissenters, throwing feces at one another and beating their chests pretending to know something. My Linux is not that Linux. My Linux is the Linux of Love, of sharing, friendship, community. It is a uniquely human Linux and not one for monkeys. When I speak with fellow Linux users in real life (i.e. not in the monkeyhouse of COLA) they remind me of myself: practical, freedom-loving, anti-corporate. Here in COLA however they remind me of monkeys or spoiled brats or worse, corporate sysadmins. My Linux is not your Linux. It is the human Linux that acknowledges that Linux involves human work to create, that although it is free you are not entitled to it, that although it is created in large part by volunteers, they deserve to be paid for their gifts with at least gratitude. And that monkeys and self-entitled brats and sysadmins never thank anyone. yarmfelder@yahoo.com writes: > To the denizens of comp.os.linux.advocacy!

I have Linux! I have Linux!
Ok, after two days of trying to get Windos 1900 installed and working , I sat down an hour ago and installed Linux. In an hour. Smirk. Ok, I will be honest. I did have some problems, but I believe they were of my own ignorance. 0) I started with trying to install Suse. However, I couldn't get it to install. Why? Because I didn't read the menu. There is a startup menu and the first entry is boot to harddisk. I thought that was the thing to do so I did it about 4 times. Then I gave up. However, I went back to it and subsequently realized that I should have chosen the 2nd men...

What I really wanted to | do was to use rsync to copy the files in | debian1’s / and /home partitions onto | partitions on debian2, and see if debian2 | would boot up and run, already configured | the same way as debian1. I was concerned | that it might not work, because debian1 | and debian2 use different monitor | resolutions and completely different CPUs | — although I was pretty confident that the | different CPUs would not cause a problem | because they can both use the type of | linux kernel (686) that is already | installed on debian1. `---- http://www.computerbob.com/wp/linux-tech-talk-3.php Linux Gazette - January 2010 (#170) http://linuxgazette.net/170/TWDT.html Linux In A Nutshell – Sixth Edition ,----[ Quote ] | The book begins with some simple ideas about | the operating system and then leads through | the System and Network Administration | overview through boot methods and package | management to the Bash shell and pattern | matching.
