Choose Linux. Choose a penguin. Choose the GPL. Choose your own kernel. Choose complete fucking control. Choose any length filenames, an end to General Protection Faults and not making your Pentium II feel like it's a 486. Choose real networking. Choose regular updates, rapid bug-fixes and access to source code. Choose to Win, but not to Doze. Choose a red hat, not a raincoat. Choose a little X with your windows, a little E with your macs and the knowledge that your work will still be there after your coffee break. Choose not to rot away at the end of it all wondering why the fuck you ever put your trust in software that served no purpose other than financing Bill Gates' pension plan, leaving you pishing your last still waiting for the patch that would actually make the system usable.
