The History of the World. Part 2

[Francois Ouellette]

OK, nice talk but this list still about Linux, right? (right like in:
correct).

During all the time spent writing rhetoric about the "freedom" of everything
and how free-er our minds could be there are (paid) guys at M$ writing code
and testing the next release of Windoze and Office...

Just like my music teacher used to tell me: if you don't practice, someone
else does, he/she will win the next competition, not you!

Just a (free) thought.
