04:10 <toddc> LINUX QUOTES/JOKES
04:10 <toddc> It's been the year of he Linux desktop on my computer for 15 years.
04:10 <toddc> The first time I read that a daemon might be the reason for some minor problem I was having, my first thought was,
04:10 <toddc> "Omygosh! My computer needs an exorcism!?"
04:11 <toddc> And my second thought was,
04:11 <toddc> "What is a Ferengi starship commander doing in my 'puter?"
