This mutherfucker forked my OP and started a new thread, taking all
the fucking credit!

Fucking deadbeat thief!

But what can one expect from a network administrator?  On the computing
totem pole NAs are at the very bottom.  They are stupid fucks all.

Anyway, after I first discovered GNU/Linux via Mandrake I had absolutely
no background in Unix.  Ridiculous Microslop was my only desktop
computing experience.

But I learned quickly and I became amazed at the wondrous applications
like LaTeX, PostScript, bash, grep, sed, etc., etc., etc.  Microslop had none
of this fantastic stuff.  Microslop was garbage incarnate.

Indeed, Microslop was, and still is, garbage incarnate.

GNU/Linux opened my eyes to REAL COMPUTING and I have not looked
back since.

Hail Linux!

Hail GNU and the FSF!

Hail Stallman!

And fuck Microslop and all of its idiot advocates!
