Invoked by June Tate's reply to my post on the 1984 thread:
I was never much into Sci-Fi. The closest I ever got was LOTR and Thomas
Covenant. I used to be a Handyman. I read a lot of Shakespeaere and Dickens -
the classic stuff. I started using Windows 3.1 in 95, when I got my first
computer - a 386 something or other. As early as 96 I bought a copy of Redhat
5.2. I guess I became disillusioned with the whole Windows thing very quickly.
I'm still left to ponder my reasons for even showing an interest in Linux in the
first place. I installed Redhat 5.2 - couldn't get any kind of dialtone (had
dialup til August 99 when my son was born.) . What did /, /usr, /var, /etc
mean?
I was stuck to C:\. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, just that I seem to
be somewhat ignorant in light of June's post - she's so intelligent. I realise
that we're all ignorant - only on different subjects (Will Rogers). I'm fairly
intelligent when it comes to book lernin'. I just can't figure out why I turned
to Linux like I have. Can anyone enlighten me? ;-)
Thanks for listening!
