how my linux life began, and what i want to do with my linux life
it all started when i went over to my friend's house for a gaming battle, and i asked my friend's dad to open an internet connection for me.
i went up in his office and saw that he had multiple monitors hooked up to a dell, which was ssh'ed into his music box that he records to.
i was utterly amazed.
he told me that it was linux.
i quickly downloaded debian, fedora core, and mandrake, and tried them all. i liked debian the most (and i still do).
i have been steadily progressing (slowly) to get rid of windows completely. i now only use it to use my webcam (which i cannot get to work on 'nix) for people on AIM. (my windows partition is now 5GB, on a 40GB hdd)
i have now taken one more step and i am learning programming languages.
i think as a career i will do somthing with developing Unix, i really want to get into that kind of stuff...

My dad got into Linux a fair (long) while ago. We all use Suse at home because it is traditionally a German distro and that's where I lived for the first 7 and a half years of my life.
There is a saying I came across a while back "Linux changed my life", and it sounds at first like something ridiculous and redundant, but it has some truths.
