- Introduction:
- "I was first introduced to Linux in 1997. I did my first install of Slackware from 13 floppy disks whose images I downloaded ftp from sunsite.unc.edu. Six months later I said goodbye to Windows - I'll never go back."
- Do you feel that GNU/Linux is just another Operating System? Why or Why Not?
- "GNU/Linux is very different from other operating systems. I like software that spreads freedom and not dependance. No matter how much money I pay I will never own Windows or MacOS, my children won't either. Thanks to the software freedom GNU/Linux provides they will always have something to learn/use and won't be controlled unless they agree to be."
- Have you gotten any relatives or friends interested in Linux?
- "Yes, both of my son's use GNU/Linux at home. My oldest son has his own GNU/Linux laptop running the Linspire distro."
- Do you like GNU/Linux more for it's price or performance?
- "In this case money is not an issue for me. I expect to pay for something of value. Time is valuable to me. I pay for Mandrake GNU/Linux because it saves me time. No viruses, no spyware, no registry corruption. All this saves time."
- How long have you been a GNU/Linux user?
- "Used Linux since 1998. Full-time since 1999. It's a new millennium!"
- What is your favorite distro?
- "I haven't used them all yet. I like Mandriva for it's comprehensive desktop apps and I like SuSE for it's complete commercial polish. I like Ubuntu for its package management. I like Linspire for it's idiot-proof operation - one click installs!"
- Additional information:
- "My favorite meetup to date is the one where Bert entertained us with his banjo (see pictures). Then there was the one where he AND Dennis both showed up. That confirmed they were two different people. We were wondering for a while."
