Thumbs up This OS rules!


Everyday I realize more and more just how much Linux kicks major a*s. After I set up a router firewall on one box with custom port forwards to a squid server, it hit me. I never did cool s*** like this when I was working in windoze. Linux rules.. Thanks Linus Torvalds, you are my hero. The more I use Linux the more I realise how much control over my computing windoze took from me when they killed DOS.

end of rant. I just had an epiphany and needed to share.

Thanks folks for always being the great Linux community that is making this OS famous. You all rule.

Damn my wife took my wine glass away.

Actually, a Mac is way more flexible than Linux could EVER be. HAHAHAHA yea right, I believe too that Linux has to be THE best thing that has ever happened to the OS world, well UNIX too =).
