- First, thanks to all those linuxers who made Linux
- possible (and freed me from DOG attrocities).
- I would like to add my $.01 worth to discussion about
- Linux future; in particular about how hackers-like linux
- is.
- Well it's not-IMHO at least. Before I got into
- Linux I didn't know what kernel was and
- had problems with .tar.Z files. What were they?
- Thanks to our local UNIX guru (Wayne, thanks) I
- made a first step. I installed Linux and, well
- now I have quite a nice system (gcc, self
- compiled kernel, mail, comm prog's , users
- acounts, getty_ps working nicely and lots more).
- As for my C knowledge-I used it in high school
- and only Turbo C. Since I started my CS
- university studies - I've never seen it ;) (till linux).
- So, to cut it short, to all of you wondering if
- you can menage-yes, just need a bit of
- determination and some quest for new.
- (sorry, if I got bit sentimental - it's Linus
- fault-his article 'bout Linux history).
