    Fun fact, you don’t even need to crawl through hundreds of feet of black water waste pipe to install Linux.

    Missing caption: “What the hell is the command to turn the water off?” 🙂

    Just kidding of course. I’ve been using Linux pretty much since forever and I love it. But there’s a learning curve if you just switched to it.

    In 2002 I was lost. I went to Las Vegas ready to gamble it all away. I got in late. There I sat on the bed. Unable to move on. I don’t know why but on a whim I opened the drawer of the night stand. There I saw it. I don’t know who put it there or why. The Linux Bible. All I know is from that very day my life was changed.

    I had messed around with Linux and failed for a while, as I was using dialup and was trying to get win modem drivers working under linux. Fast forward a few years later and I finally switched when i finally had broadband, and the concept a virtual machine was really becoming industry standard in late 2000’s, and I wanted to start experimenting with them, I hated trying to hunt down windows licenses for each VM I wanted to run, and I started messing around with Linux in VM’s as they were free. Thank Tux, I finally starated running Ubuntu on my bare metal machines around Ubuntu 7.04 I think, my WiFi drivers “just worked” and it was magical.
