For those of you who don’t know, the title of this blog post is an often mis-quoted reference to a 1985 Sally Field utterance when she won and academy award. I can honestly say that I understood the awe and shock that propelled Sally Field to speak these much parodied words this morning when I woke up and realized my blog had received 1600 hits overnight.
I have been a Microsoft user for a majority of my life. I started out with a 66 megahertz computer running MS-DOS on a very fancy black and green monitor. However, I recently became a self-proclaimed Linux lover. For those of you who might not know, Linux is an open source operating system that competes with Microsoft Windows and Apple’s OS X. My first experience with Linux left me with a bad taste in my mouth, but the distribution of Linux known as Ubuntu 7.10 (aka “Gutsy Gibbon”), the version prior to the current version of Ubuntu, has impressed me enough to convince me to completely switch my personal computer to Linux. It has been a fascinating adventure, and I’ve learned a lot about the inner workings of my computer.
