I am pistnbroke
I am a new PC user with little previous experience.I tried linux out of curiosity-and boy did it teach me some stuff.I use XP,on a second hand PC, and of course being new,had to format a few times because of errors i made in learning.The last time I formatted i had to do the phone thing to M$, well needless to say,we had it out, I lost,and that caused me to have a great disrespect for M$ .I am trying to learn the Linux, so i can scrap XP.I have tried 2 now. Debian was my first(Oh Boy!),Slax 2nd. i am kinda getting addicted to this linux over my XP.This M$ seems like it's 'real and it's nice' but it's not 'real nice'.I have shelled out $149.-XP home(upgrade).$499-XP Pro(canada price) and i still am not happy. Why can't I do what i want with this OS?? - i do own it, and paid a great deal for it.So then- I figured it all out-I only rent the stupid thing.But on the otherhand I paid $5 for Debian, and my Slax(live) was free.I am thinking of grabbing the whole set of distro's(around $40 US), to find the one that suits me.That's pretty cheap if ya ask me. So far I run both XP and Slax, so i can learn more about this OS. and when i do get it down, M$ will never again be my main OS...Now you see why I am ..pistnbroke!! Thank you Linux, I will learn!In fact..I already have.
