Today at my office on a conference call, I was talking to a software development team in my office about how our web development environment is going to change. We are going to be moving from an ASP.NET C# Windows Server environment to a linux environment with Drupal.
They were very excited as they are linux enthusiasts. One of them mentioned they used Debian, another said they used Ubuntu. I said I used linux at home as well and they asked what I used. I said "Slackware".
There was a pause for about 10 to 15 seconds and then one of them said "Wow...you take this pretty seriously don't you."
I have that shirt...irony would have been that I was wearing it that day.
This makes me think of the time I went into Office Depot to buy printer cartridges, and I went up to the register to pay, and the cashier tried to sell me on Office Depot computer services (clean up malware, speed up Windows, that sort or thing). I was wearing my Slackware shirt at the time, so I simple pointed at it with both index fingers. He just kind of looked at me with a blank stare on his face.
