Arrow I don't think using Linux is cool anymore


Instead I find it... normal.
I'm happy with that, it hsn't been since my best friend started using it too, I felt I'm no longer alone with this case. Soon there was third, then 4th and now I know total of 8 ppl in my ring that have switched.

First it was like "omg wee arth teh h4x0rz" but then I got bored on that fussing but continued to use it as normal. I haven't changed settings/upgraded since December, as everything is running perfectly.
Then waves lowered around me but they still use Linux. No hype anymore or faking to be h4x just because they have Linux.
We are using it as it's normal.

I think I've been reached the Bliss!



PS: See my sig too. You see I haven't been here since last December too.

Eits0, it happens to all (I think so ). It's normal. It's just an OS, isn't it?

It's still cool though. Just because others use it, as long as it still does everything you want, then it's still cool. If you are bored with it, try doing something. Try learning a programming language. Try setting up a mail server to work with multiple lan clients. Try working on a postnuke Apache setup.

Just some ideas

Cool

Mara & MasterC, yeah I remember you fellas!

MasterC, you didn't catch my point. I _like_ it most when it comes normal and everyday thing for me. One cool thing about linux actually is that once you are ready with it, you won't have to dodge bullets... err... change it!

damn matrix really messes my thoughts...
