Yea, I tried FreeBSD on a project on a 1955 Philco Predicta television... I
like how it does its apps, but totally different from what I know. :P

I used Awesome WM for a week once... and it was cool, poewrful even, to be
able to do EVERYTHING  - but ... it was also 'doing everything'. I wasn't
ready. LOL...

So... I was great at creating an ARCH build- while the window manager kicked
my ass, I 'get' linux things and theories... system ctl, etc. I think what
happened over my linux time is I focused in on certain areas - but then never
learned how the filesystem is structured - so my dumb ass lost all data with
every distro hop. :P I do KNOW a lot ... but along the way, I think I missed
a ton of stuff too. At any rate, I continue to learn more and more. :P

Cheers daddio... thanks for rapping about my linux issues. :P
