My motivation to do I.T

In many respects had i never discovered Linux i may possibly be a technology-agnostic person or at-least a Microsoft frick .
Part of that is down to the sheer 'tech know-how'  you learn as you use linux – though this is likely less intense than it once was, I'm sure.

Secondly, Linux made me view things differently; it made me view my interactions with my computer differently too. No longer was it just using what was available – such as Windows Media Player for example – but more about what i wanted to use; what kind of software i wanted or needed or would like!

Whilst i was always a bit of a geek in my XP monogamy back a year or so ago (seriously, that's all it's been!); my XP was skinned to look like OS X; i wasn't overly aware nor appreciative of how much work and choice there is out there for end users.

An example being that i now user OpenOffice on ALL my OS's. How many people make do with word-pad or pay for iWorks?

While some may look at it as a case of 'windows does all i need' – which is fair enough – i find that if it wasn't for linux instability at times (or it's every-so-often temper about some .confg file u accidentally nudged or shiz) then I'd likely answer the shout of 'Windows does everything i need' with a 'Yeah, but Linux does it better.'
