I'm going to look at converting all my stuff to Linux. I'm disgusted with the idea of being held hostage by people who hate me and hate what I believe in.

Open to suggestions from people more familiar with this operating system.

Linus is a hard core lib. Not sure about Stallman but he will probably rub religious folks the wrong way. Just something to think about if you want a system built by people of your beliefs.

Linux is open source, creating your own version is no problem

I've used linux since it was just a kernal on floppy disks. Slackware is the distro that I used back then. It's my main go-to on all of my computers except that one I keep on Windoze 7 that I have to have to support idjits that can't handle linux.

This post, and most all of my posts on FR are posted from a linux box.

Everyone seems to forget that Linux and Open-Source licensing with every bit of software for it was started with the intent of being anti-Capitalist. With that bit of information, do as you wish.
