Good Bye Windows!

Finally I had the time and resolution to wave goodbye to my Windows (not a genuine one btw)!

The Linux distro was Debian, and it miraculously identified and made work my sound card! Miraculous, judging by the fact that I failed to make several other debian systems work with the sound cards on some other machines.

Now I gradually have some idea of the access privilege system of the OS. I guess the previous failures was not that thourough after all. It was just some lack of access right maybe. Perhaps the user was just not in the audio group.

Linux is not that horrible. I can listen to music here. I can do anything I want to... except to view some web pages. Those near-sighted designers! I hope opera can help with this sad fact. Though I'm not sure if it can go along with my qtorrent app : (

Now I'm even more confident when trying to talk folks out of Windows. Gates dude should not be too nervous and try to sue me since those people were not using genuine Windows from the beginning ^_^

I've tried dual-OS life. When you have a choice, you tend to choose the easier way out. Now I give myself no choice. I have to live with Linux, and I think I will survive with it.
