I wouldn't say so. The biggest problems with Linux are

(1) Trusting strangers not to screw you for the pure hell of it. Meaning after they give you the answer, if you don't understand part of the answer, definitely Google it.

(2) if you feel about command line the same way I feel about being more than about a foot higher than I normally am, then Linux might not be for you. (And yes, stairs and escalators make me nervous. You don't encounter that much in the South)

To abuse a 'quote' that appears to have it's origins in lore:
"The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in Britain."

In Chicago there are only three seasons: Winter, More Winter, and Road Construction.

Not too far off. One has to be very watchful to catch Spring and Fall, though I suppose that they are included with Summer under the Road Construction rubric.

I have heard that in Washington and Oregon there are only 2: Rain and Construction.

Haha, nice, didn't know a part of those, they are "cool", like my daughter would say..
We use to say about the climate in north-east of Romania (where the [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criv%C4%83%C8%9B"]crivăț[/URL] is blowing, bringing the temperatures to -30C, or so, one more reason to say that everything that is "good" in that country came from the Russians :razz:), that "we have winter, but we have summer too, the summer is on a Thursday"... (or, depending on case, it was yesterday, or is today, or it will be next Tuesday, etc).


All times are UTC. The time now is 19:51.
