Of course, my other big "problem" is that Linux is both a hobby, and
work, to me. I depend on it for my livelihood, as well as enjoy
hacking around in it getting oddball stuff to work with it.<br>
<br>
It's just that I don't have the time I used to have to fight with
it. I remember spending literally _days_ getting drivers to
work; compiling the latest kernel; reinstalling the distro back before
RPM and DEB existed. None of that time was wasted; it was a lot
of fun. Sort of like tinkering with an old automobile.<br>
<br>
But, nowadays, there just isn't the time to hack. I don't know
how some of these people do it, with kids, job, and other
commitments. So when I want to do something with Linux, I want it
to work rather quickly.<br>
<br>
When I built my MythTV box, I had to schedule a day (a WHOLE DAY) on
the calendar, and have my wife take the two kids out somewhere for the
day, so I could be left in peace to get it done. I got everything
ready the week before, so that when the day came, I was totally ready
and dedicated to the project. I never used to have to go to those
lengths. :-)<br>
