It's kind of amazing to think that GNU / Linux has been created by people all across the world, volunteering their time for a greater good...

It's the cool little things like this that remind you of the people..

Yeah.
It's really good to see real people that want to do something well.
It's like communism the way it was meant to be, or an enlightent anarchy

That's what I love about Linux.

People created it for us, they know what we want.

Linux gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all the time. Is that normal?

Linux is a wondeful OS because of so many of the small and simple little suprises it causes

You would never see a Windows application, or a Windows OS Installation itself say "go grab a pizza, because we are going to take a long time

"

I love the close knit community. Everybody is quick to help. I also love how customized everything is. Ones install is compiled for the specific computer's architecture. Simply amazing. Binaries are a think of the past for me after I've seen Gentoo.

Yes, the warm fuzzy feeling is normal. :wink:

What I love is the fact the nothing is hidden. It's all clear: when they find bugs they tell you and the try to solve them as soon as possible.

One thing I love in Open Source community is that In a way everybody is in control, but still noone is controlling it. :roll:

It kicks ass cause it brings stability to my life it looks better than windows (well easier do achieve the eye candy in Gnome) and its there to take over the world through dodgy means

Linux does exactly what I want, when I want, how I want it to be done. To boot it doesn't do anything that I don't want it to do. Ever.

It kicks ass because The guys who did it are both really fun and serious!
The example of army america is representative.

With Linux you can :
- take fun
- working
- hacking

That's Linux powerI think
