I’ve been Wondering if I ever been to a safari or not. Well, I haven’t and I can’t see I will ever be in the foreseeable future but, in anyway, Linuxing can be as intriguing as going to a safari. I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux ever since it was only a Dapper Drake (although either fictional or not living in a safari). I loved the operating system, society and embraced the concept and philosophy! I became an official exclusive Linuxer around Gutsy Gibbon when I gave Windows the axe and the boot out of my hard disk. That’s when the adventure started. When I decided to enjoy the mishaps of Linux. When I started to see the million ways The Gimp is better than Photoshop (you might argue it’s not, but embrace the philosophy and you won’t). Along the way, when I was upgrading and waiting for every 6 months for a Heron or an Ibex to come by, I was always thinking to wear a fedora or capture a lizard. Until it finally came, two months after introducing Ubuntu to my roommate, I was playing around with my Jackalope he decided to buy a laptop (Thankfully he didn’t need to pay the Microsoft Tax). He decided to try out three Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE). I thought I should move on too. I downloaded OpenSUSE and, here I am, loving the experience. What I like the most is that we have 3 machines in the room and each has a different distribution of Linux and nothing else to be found!
What I also like, is how all three of them are basically the same yet so different. I felt a bit lost at first then it clicked all of a sudden! Am I going to play with a Koala instead of my newly captured Lizard? Let’s wait and see! I’m only wondering why OpenSUSE is the dark side of Linux?
