Hello everybody.<br>
I was thinking I haven't written anything to the mailing list in a
while, so this morning while I was surfing the web I found this
entry in a blog site. I thought to share it with you since I found
sound what true and funny at the same time. Here it is<br>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><i>"We tell people
we use Linux because it’s secure.
Or because it’s free, because it’s customizable, because it’s
free (the other meaning), because it has excellent community
support. But all of that is just marketing crap. We tell that to
non-Linuxers because they wouldn’t understand the real reason.
And
when we say those false reasons enough, we might even start to
believe them ourselves.

But deep underneath, the real reason
remains.</i></font></p>

We use Linux because it’s fun!</strong></i></font></p>

It’s fun to tinker with your system. It’s fun to
change all the settings, break the system, then have to go to
recovery mode to repair it. It’s fun to have over a hundred
distros
to choose from. It’s fun to use the command line.<br>
Let me say that
again.</i></font></p>

The point with us Linux fans is – we use Linux for
its own sake. Sure, we like to get work done. Sure, we like to
be
secure from viruses. Sure, we like to save money. But those
are only
the side-effects. What we really like is playing with the
system, poking around, and discovering completely pointless
yet
fascinating facts about the OS.</i></font></p>

Probably not everybody will agree but I thought it was funny any
way. Have a nice weekend every one<br>
