From: nowinski@cthulhu.obscurity.net (Anne Nowinski) Newsgroups: local.talk Subject: linux Date: 17 Dec 1998 14:46:57 GMT So another relationship in my life is in the process of ending. Against all reason, sanity and advice, (I knew he was leaving for Arizona or that there was a 98% chance of it) I became attatched emotionally. So I am left not bitter just tired of this whole meeting people, emotional ties, finding a compatible person and then having them yank away. It is just an emptiness right now. From what I have observed from my male friends, though, this is exactly the climate required to learn Linux. Without a full and happy lovelife or distraction of soft lips and a reason to kiss them, there is enough room to grasp the intricacies and nuances of such a fine operating system. It has already begun to happen. As I walk down the street I am not thinking of emptiness, kising, nathan or any other previous SO's, I am thinking of penguins, rm -rf / and lilo. I am already convinved that linux will dull the pain better than heroin. anne
