Me - I started some three years ago with SuSE 6.1 (2.2.13 kernel) for two reasons. a) I found a program that did what I wanted, and would only run under linux. b) Getting really p****d of with a burke that thought himself as THE computer expert - Could turn a computer on, play a few games in Windows... Give him a command prompt and he'd be buggered.
Even in the last couple of years, I have seen linux and GNU improve in leaps and bounds. I laugh in the face of the worms and virii that land in my mailbox, and remember fondly the lovebug (still have a copy somewhere). Linux now runs on all my computers at home, and I still haven't got round to running the killer app that started me off on this....
Regards, Paul.

Well, since you ask, the story (for good reasons) goes back to 1980 or so when I was using CP/M
