Snaking the HIVE

[Blackrat]

Eventually I'm gonna have to learn Linux. It'll be a necessary part of my trade school teachings.

I had to learn it due to the only 'puter that had web connection in our barracs in the army had Linux. After half a year I was ready to smash it with the back of my rifle

One of my best friends swears by Linux. He tells me it isn't that hard to learn; that is assuming of course you have a tutor or a teacher.

Oh, it's easy for sure... You just need a windows emulator to actually do anything with it... So why not get actual windows while you're at it and save the trouble.

It's almost like the Mac and PC debate..

Morning, Hive!

I had a good long chat with some friends over the weekend, and although I didn't agree with everything that they said, I feel better from having opened up with them.

I also got beaten at Scrabble by my 11-year-old nephew. Eeeeek.

Ouch.

I've lost my fair share of chess matches through to bad luck and not paying attention, it must be said, so I know how you feel.

Exactly. I have a dual-install with Linux. It's cool, it works like a charm, I love the concept, as it's Free as in Freedom (with a capital F)... but most of the time I boot up Windows because stuff runs on it. And running Visual C++ on Linux including the SDK is faaar too much trouble.

Cheers, LT.

Wait what?! An actual Linux user agreed with me ? Now I'm confused...

Don't be mad at me... Just poking a little fun .

I completely understand why people use Linux, but I really don't want to do it myself.
