Linux: The Little Operating System That Really Can

,----[ Quote ]
| I began what I like to think of as my “Linux Adventure”, in February of 2006 
| on a short, much-frazzled shoestring.   I couldn’t afford to buy a new, or 
| even a late model second-hand computer to use with Linux and I wasn’t 
| prepared to give up Windows.   Used computers are comparatively easy to find 
| but my choices were narrowed down to what I could afford.   My first Linux 
| computer was a 266 MHz P2 with 128 MB of RAM.   Of several full featured 
| distros, Debian 3.1 (Sarge) was the only one I was able to install on it and, 
| at that, I had to learn how to do some very geeky post-install tweaking.   I 
| later acquired a 333 MHz Celeron with 256 MB of RAM and it too seemed best 
| suited to Debian 3.1.   As time progressed I was able to finagle and trade my 
| way up to my current Linux machine which is an 800 MHz Duron with 512 MB of 
| RAM running Debian 4.0 (Etch).   Debian Etch, by the way, didn’t require any 
| geeky post-install tweaking, although I did have to ascend a short learning 
| curve to give it multimedia capabilities, and is at least as user friendly as 
| was my first Windows 98 computer.   In my opinion, anyone who contends that 
| Linux isn’t ready for the ordinary desktop user hasn’t tried it and/or isn’t 
| an ordinary desktop user.
