| In the summer of 2000, I was reading lots of news about waves of viruses that
| would be coming up. Holden and I knew each other from discussing politics in
| the elevator during the 2000 election cycle, so I knew that he was a computer
| sys admin for a law firm in that building, and asked him what was the best
| anti-virus software.
|
| He said "Linux".
|
| After many conversations with Holden about the ups and downs of using Linux
| for my office, I decided that my fear of viruses was greater than my anxiety
| about an unknown operating system called Linux, and so I ordered a bunch of
| computer parts on the Internet which Holden proceeded to build into the first
| of several machines that he would build for me.

| But we would need help making the lab work. We looked around together, and I
| found a guy by the name of Steve Hargadon who put in a commercial bid to
| build a Linux lab very reasonably. I mean VERY reasonably. In fact, the price
| was so low that it surprised the principal.
|
| That Linux lab ran for two years without a reboot.
|
| And we place an additional 12 GNU-Linux machines in other teachers'
| classrooms.
