I have been a Linux advocate for about ten years now. The first
version of Linux I installed was Red Hat 3.0.3. I had used a
UNIX-based system in graduate school, and I was somewhat familiar
with how to get around (read: how to screw things up). I work at a
school that is inundated with Microsoft products. After being there
a year or so, I decided to branch out on my own and install Linux
on my desktop machine. I have never looked back, and I have been
using Linux as my desktop of choice ever since, at home and the
office…”
