One of the most wonderful parts of linux is having access to the source
code. When you find something that does not work and you fix it. Its
yours. You do not have to wait for the Keepers of the Documents to pass
judgement on your work and put it in a future release. It's yours now. I
have found so many bugs in old compilers, that it almost drove me nuts
finding work arounds. Now when I find a problem, I fix it, recompile the
software and run it. Its ssssssssooooooooooooooooooooo sweet! Life is
good with linux.
