What Introduced You To Open Source?
 

Based on feedback in this thread, the official LQ polls continue. For many, Linux may have been your first introduction to Open Source. For many others though, it wasn't. It may have been an editor, IDE, programming language or a variety of other applications, operating systems, etc. So we want to know, What introduced you to Open Source?

(Note that this is another free answer unstructured poll).

I can't pinpoint the exact source, but I can say that Eric S. Raymond's Jargon File was a huge influence.

After some consideration, this is probably a bit too close to our previous "How Did You Get Into Linux and Open Source?" poll to be of additional use. If you haven't commented there yet, visit http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ce-4175494811/ to do so. My apologies and I'll post another poll ASAP. Closing this as a dupe.
