I have no problem with Linux. My last gig involved a lot of operating between Win7/WinXP/Linux/QNX/Busybox, so I had to get into the bowels of the OS from time to time.
I remember installing Slackware about 15 years go. Of course, then it was on a '386 and no X-windows, but I'm a command line junkie anyhow.
I do have a couple of odd computers laying around (can't have too many computers, I allus say) and I've been thinking about installing some X-nix just to play with. What the heck - get 3 or 4 going and network them all together and let them conspire among themselves to take over the world (
Forbin Project anyone?)
