Dangit NorthernPete, your signature image cracks me up. :)

Also, vi(m) all the way, but Gentoo, pffft. Got tired of compiling everything, all the time. Still trying to find a distro that suits me well, though, Arch Linux isn't cutting the mustard any more.

I am many things, but a graphics guru I am not. I just got it from somewhere else, too. I thought it was funny so I uploaded it to my PhotoBucket account.

I will say this, roflskates. emacs is almost a freaking operating system, that kind of has a text editor with it :-p vi(m) ftw!!11oneone or something like that.

I guess my bike would have to be Ubuntu Hoary, solid base from a long line of <3 - complete with functional OMG SHINY and a huge array of available mods.

whodda thunk there were so many of us Linux users on this forum.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?
