fuck yeah! linux ftw. though, I wouldn't go ubuntu. it's not as secure as say, freeBSD or, something to that affect. slackware, gentu, and BSD, (usually used in some strict environments), are the most secure. I love debian, and is actually what I use, though ubuntu is way to dam bloated. I'd class it with fc/redhat.

o, and as for vista, it can lick my ballz. Besides the fact that they fucked up the network stack, and tried to imitate *nix's acl, it blows. People will disagree, but all they really did is made the jump that AOL did from 8.0 to 9.0, and added a shitload of graphics which did nothing but take up more ram, lovely.

If the URL breaks, then just edit it and paste it back on the address bar. It gets interesting.
