i’m glad you shared this because it’s forced me to take stock of all the time that has passed by as he explained his experiences with ubuntu.

i got especially nostalgic when he mentioned compiz and the feeling of being on the bleeding edge. it felt so bleeding edge that when ubuntu made that public mistake w grub in one of their earlier releases, it got me to consider buying a linux laptop; which i did a few years later permanently, until recently.

also: unity was awesome.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
