I prefer the term geek myself.

I don't like Fedora Core personally, I know someone who has it installed but I don't like it's default settings. I just like Kubuntu for working right away the way I want. And apt-get is much better.

I use Linux because it has all I need and for other reasons. When I was a kid fiddling around with Windows, there were lots of features of which I said "Why isn't it there?" or "It's stupid how it works", Linux has all these things and more. And I don't want to follow a giant company for my computer, I won't pay 300$ for some software that sometimes require additionnal paid programs.

I tell people about it but if they don't want to change, I won't force them(I'll push them. A little.). It's just a matter of choice. I felt confortable with Windows, a little like a house I fondly like but need to leave because of various problems, before I switched to Linux, which I now feel confortable with.

Try the Distribution chooser.

I installed Ubuntu a while ago, but I don't know how to go Internet with it, i.e. how to configure and connect to my router, so I just keep using Windows

At least you tried...

You'll be able to get help in the #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net

You have a router or a modem? If a router, it should've been configured with DHCP automatically, if not... You need to go check in System -> Administration(if using Gnome) -> Network and write your manual address yourself.

Sounds pretty easy, maybe I'll try that anytime soon.

I used SuSe before, but it was pretty shitty with the RPMs and overall, so I changed to this Debian thingy.

I supposedly wrote:Boredom does strange things to a mind without tits.

When did I say/write that?

For shame.

The shield looks like a fan. Or if it's a fan, it looks like a propeller. And if it's a propeller, it looks like kashluk.

if you spin it, it will hypnotize you, just like kashluk

Not that anyone cares so much about my desktop, but more to showcase St. Toxic's latest work of art.
