Thanks Rahim..Oh..I forget to mention that the inspiration to learn linux was not actually from the Linux guy, but from my own PC guy..( the guy who was assigned by his company to remove the virus, repair the system during the warranty period!) He was a very nice young man who done the MCSE and CCNA but ended in as 'windows mechanic' in a no so big company..When he was installing new hardisk, I casually ask him,'Can you install me Linux along with XP.."
He was obviously shocked,' who told you about linux?'. I refer the magazine article.
"Sir, Please, don't force me to do this.. whatever you ask me I am willing to install any softwares but not Linux..(the list he given was endless.. photoshop,macromedia Flash,Norton Anti virus etc., etc., )
I was amazed.. 'why are you so oppose it.. afterall Linux is virus free.. that is what I was told..It reduce your workload...
Oh.. exactly that is the point...If every body install Linux.. what happened to us.. we'll be jobless.. we only know ..how to remove virus, fix the broken windows system..another thing is if you install Linux , our company policy will void your warranty..
So i was catch by that situtation extremely intrigued about installing Linux, but determined to wait for the warranty period over..
So that was the story folks..Had the hardware guy install Linux without any adeo I may have lost interest in it..But I was luckey...
