Quoting Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
<snipped lots of mail>
after using Linux as my work desktop for almost a decade (well, nine years
to be exact) it's a bit of a shock to install Win2k. true, i used it
regularly, but i'd forgotten the sheer terror of *installing* it. and i'd
gotten used to the Linux kernel's "it works out of the box without having to
download more drivers" behavior. and i'd forgotten that feeling you get when
you realize that stock Win2k on the internet is like being in the prison
shower and you drop your soap..
well i guess the experience is seamless for people with new computers,
installing WinXP. but i can't help remembering what some guy said.. that
Windows is as tough, or even tougher, to install than Linux, except most
people get their PC's with Windows pre-installed so they never know how
tough it is.
Nice long tale Orly.
Would you be interested to have this further immortalized as an article in
linux.org.ph? I couldn't offer royalties though, but a hope to cement further
your legendary streak in PLUG hahaha :))
