A long time Linux user, started out with just the kernel in 1994/1995, downloading 14 deskettes on a university terminal that would only allow 512 K bytes to be downloaded and saved at a time. It took me all day to get the linux kernel downloaded. Installing and configuring took 3 to 6 week (especially when I started including X). Now, downloading and installing take a few hours and configuring is usually no more than installing the right packages.

Even though I have been using Linux a long time, I have dabbled with all kinds of languages but I still am a real user, not a developer.

Still, Linux is the platform of choice for everything except WoW.
