[...] knows that I’m a big fan of the MacOSX sleek design, however much prefer the flexibility and freedom of straight Linux. Even on windows, I’d rather install cygwin and skin my operating system using FlyAKiteOSx. [...]

Yeah that’s exactly why I love it too. I mean, can you think of a better way to support and expand technology then to put it in the hands of those who use it in order to make it better? That’s the only thing I dislike about the commercial software industry that I now find myself in. Everyone is so closed doors, and at the end of the day, the product suffers. I do what I do because I want to be best of breed. I think that involves a lot of collaboration, rather then secrecy.

Dude, you know exactly why I love Linux. It goes beyond a hatred of all things Microsoft and how nothing they make ever works the way it should — it goes to the heart of the open source movement. The ability to fix what’s broken without having to prostrate yourself before some third party company and get them to please please patch their buggy software. If something’s broken, and you can see how in the code, you can change it and recompile. If something’s broken in the configuration, there’s no “registry” or other magic hocus pocus, just straight text files. Find the setting you need, tweak it, and off you go. Also, the fact that you can keep your /home on a separate partition means reformatting’s a snap with zero danger of losing either your settings or documents.
