I'll probably buy the book, seeing as it's cheap as shit. But, I just want to say, your BBS is one of the most awesome things I've found all year. (wishing I wasn't so young)

I know, I know. This is pretty self-promote-y. But I've got a sneaking feeling that this will be of interest.

So Linux doesn't suck anymore?

No and 2013 is the year of Linux on desktop.

“100% RMS approved!” Nice try, kernel adulator. It's GNU/Linux, or GNU+Linux.

I just added ‘kernel adulator’ to the list of terms I’ll use. My search engine (DDG) returned zero mentions of the term, so you may have coined a new one (and a good one at that.) I’m not a big fan of RMS, but I do agree that Linux distributions should be referred to as ‘GNU/Linux’. OS X is more than XNU too.
