I belive that bill gates (and or his little buddy steve balmer) claimed that
open source software is a cancer on the comptuer industry. I understand that
your condition can be very frustrating, however I dont think garl meant any
harm. Its great that your educating people on mental illness and everything
(Heck, I didnt know that Schizophrenia was specific to disassociation from
reality, rather than mutliple personalities), although I imagine that
multiple peronalities is a product of Schizophrenia.
Isnt it ok to apply human attibutes/conditions to describe computer things?
Ive heard of certain OS referreed to as "brain dead", I didnt take offense to
it!
I would have enjoyed calling it "Schizophenux" more than "multiple
personalinux". well.. I got to get back to work on my distibution... Penix.
