You can select their wide cornucopia of packages and you get every

Even fork(2) works!
It is amazing.
Whenever I am forced to use Windows I do this.
And it is also a fact that i am yet to a see a single person who is as
fond of UNIX as I.
I see a lot of people in LUG who are in LUG without understanding a
thing about the charity side of open source or
they even openly claim that they can never give away something for free!
I also find that everyone I meet whether they be of academic
background or otherwise have a strong Windows experience.
Their UNIX experience falls short by a big degree.
Somehow for some reason my experience has been totally UNIX focussed.
Anyway I am waiting to meet someone like me some day.
