    I want to thank Windows.

    So, I was planning to install Linux. I used a Knoppix CD and ran GParted. Halfway through resizing the Windows partition, my computer shut down. So I started up again and Windows' CHKDSK fixed everything. Thanks, Windows!

    I've been a Linux user (at work) for a while now, I shiver every time I need to run the command "man touch" :S

    I've been a Linux user for a while now, I'm enjoying it. In fact, I'm having a bash.
