Story: Life after Microsoft - One firm's complete conversion to open source

Posted by: Travis ************* (Monday 25 August 2003, 3:00 AM)

I am making the transtion to the linux world as we speak, I use full out pirated microsoft software due to my incapability to afford it. I am a single user who loves computers and I am a damn kid, I have no money! What do you want from me? Don't you think MS has enough cash yet? Can't they sell their software at reasonable prices? I have removed each and every aspect of microsoft from my system! I installed RedHat 9 and learned how to recompile my kernel (can't do that with windows!!!!!) to tailor it specifically to my computer's uses and needs! I have spent some time learning how to use the os and install specific driver support and yeah, its confusing but I blame microsoft for that, maybe if they'd let go of their hold on the industry, they started something great but they went the wrong way with it!
