Re: [Trisquel-users] Why did you switch (or use) Free Software?

[swrnjtbs]

It started out with my eager to learn to program. I wanted to learn how the  
softwares I used actually work! Then I came across a magazine I can't  
remember which one that mentioned about "Open Source" Softwares and I wanted  
to learn more. After few days of searching and re-searching I was very happy  
and keen to try out the system but was scared if I may ruin my "Windows Xp"  
installation!! Yes, I was a Windows user back then (God forgive me, I was  
innocent!). I did learn how to do a dual partion/installation of both  
GNU/Linux and Windows and used that way for a couple of years. I think Fedora  
was the first distro I installed if I may remember correctly. I had no idea  
about the philosophical views behind the softwares I was using cause it was  
never mentioned anywhere. Then I heard about Richard Stallman and watched his  
speeches and so impressed that I promised myself not to use proprietary  
software and haven't since then.
I value my Freedom so I use "Free Software".
