Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

A much used phrase, esp. when it comes to online service providers.
But the analogy doesn't work for me, at all.
There is such a thing as free lunch. Charity and hospitality have always been part of human society. And while the former might be largely institutionalised and the latter on the decline, they definitely still exist.
I guess what most people really want to say when they use that phrase is sth like: "Please do look the gift horse in the mouth!" Being free doesn't necessarily mean there's no strings attached.
Yes. Heinlein’s not talking about the meal. Harshaw is, in fact, quite generous and charitable ’tho he doesn’t suffer fools lightly.
The phrase is exactly about the presence of “strings”
Neither should a box of "food" say 0 trans fats on the front, having partially hydrogenated oils listed on the back... but, f u if you're not aware that we're all truly idiots,,, learning nothing from history bcause we can't live it as a whole!

Richard Stallman: "Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died. As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, “I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone.” Nobody deserves to have to die - not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing. Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can only hope his successors, as they attempt to carry on his legacy, will be less effective."
'I hate what has happened to our culture lately... When someone says theyre very opposed to racism and fascism it should be an easy "hell yeah me too" ... but what they very well might mean by that is "i openly hate anyone to the right of chairman mao"'
