I can Sympathize! Now that I'm running Linux at the office, my boss expects me to work, not to spend the day rebooting and cursing my PC. That Rat-Bastard! Who does he think I am? Linux Torvalds? Fortunately for me, I have multiple desktops, so I can run all my favorite games on Desktops 2 and 3, and he won't even know,....damn, he's logging in to my system with rsh and shutting down PYSOL, and LTRIS. Now he's deleting them! Where's the Blue Screen of Death when you need it most? Curse you Mandrake! Maybe it's time for RedmondLinux? Or, maybe Corel Linux? yeah, that's it,..Corel! It works as well as Windows XP ! Now where's that web-site?
