[plug] Looking for a quote

[Shayne O'Neill]

A few more

I use linux because;-
	1. Linux does not treat me like an adult child.
yet	2. My mother can understand it. (xandros)
	3. I can afford to get the latest software for the cost of a
download
yet	4. I do not have to fear copyright infringement
	5. Because I was trained on unix.
	6. Linux people do not take themselves so seriously
	   as to become relentless assholes. Usually(!)
	7. As much as I know already (considerable) I still have much
	   I can learn. Same reason I'm a musician.
