And really now... who in this day and age can expect any modern girl
to want to be seen with end-luser,non-hacking,whining-about-no-
*DOCS*-unable-solve-install-problems-weenies! No docs you say? So
write 'em yerself! Be a "Manly Hacker"!! :-) I re-installed my ENTIRE
system this weekend including X and some compiles of stuff I'm fond of
in just a few hours this weekend... SLS was _very_ easy. True, I
didn't set up UUCP or networking... but it will be a positively sterling
opportunity to learn something my COSCI curriculum doesn't "teach"
when I do.
I don't care about getting girls myself... but I have been concerned
with getting a job lately and my experience with Linux enables me to
say proudly "Ya! Ich bin ein "Unix hacker! Was wollen sie herr
Ubermenschsystemadminiztratorkopf?"
Why, just the other day I saw this personal in alt.sex.unix.personals
and I thought to myself "Wow... there sure are a lot of guys missing
the boat these days... trying to impress me with their cars!"
