.: First steps

by Anantha on November 6, 2004

I once had a long *not-so-sweet* discussion about Open source and such with a friend of mine, and he very subtly asked me what my OS was. I did not have a chance but to say Windows XP (yeah !!! its licensed). He then told me that I could not comment on or advocate open source since I was not using one. But frankly the only MS products that I use are MSN messenger and Windows XP. I technically can avoid MSN messenger by using GAIM but not the OS.

But woohoo !!, I did install Suse 9.1 on my machine today. I borrowed the DVD sent to my roommate from Novell ( yeah, free !) and he happens to be a Linux Geek. And so the child has begun to crawl. I say so since I am a Linux novice but I am sure I will get the baptism done in the right way. And what better way to learn something than play around with it. Sad part is that this post is coming from a MS powered laptop, since I am yet to figure out a way to make Linux support my wireless card. MS freaks must be laughing saying this, “Perils of linux”. But I will get to the end of it….. :D

hahahahahahahahahah, thats one step forward - more to go before u can come on deliberating terms with me!!!! But mate how much time did u spend just setting up ur suse box (thats after u tried mandrake ) ……. that was so much waste of time, if u were to setup windows all over again, u wud have been able to build another deviationz.net by now.

And i thot only windows hangs!!!!!!!( or did i) MICROSOFT rocks - ppl who dont like it are just too shy to say that it rocks
