Geek in Practice

So, about a month ago I installed openSUSE Linux on my laptop. Honestly, I liked what I saw but I felt some of the Linux privileges have been removed. Therefore, I’m saying sorry Novell but your system isn’t for me. What do now? I wanted to fallback to Ubuntu or maybe Fedora. A little push from my brother is all I wanted to try something completely new. As I said, openSUSE removed some of the privileges Linux offers hence I’m heading for the distribution which give me total control!

Go Gentoo! See you on the other side!

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?
