You probably all have a grandfather who told you that when he was young he had to walk for milk... 15 miles ..every day...In 1 meter of snow... bare footed!
And he never complained!
Boy what a hero! ...And naturally you understand what a spoiled brat you are yourself

Now we have the Linux version:
Christopher Tozzi wrote an article;
Six great Desktop Linux features you may take for granted
The main message being that back in his day they had to do without them!

Maybe it’s just a sign that I’m getting old, but more and more often lately I’ve found myself thinking thoughts like, “Back in my day, Linux didn’t have X, Y and Z. We did without!” With these sentiments in mind, I decided to put together a list of a few major desktop Linux technologies that millions of users now take for granted, but which didn’t exist only a few years ago. Read on for a look.

Here is a picture of my Grandfather right after he has left for Milk, on the mountain top in the background.

As you can see he had time for a hobby too.

Happy reading - you spoiled brats :-D

Hey, I learned some things there!

I must admit to some new-comer-itis, too.

Remember when you had to download Nvidia’s Unix driver source code, drop to runlevel 3, type some archaic commands to compile it and then reboot the computer?

Um...what? But I still do that.

Hey...how come nobody told me? :berserkf

It's because you then are amongst the noble hard guys that eat Razor blades for breakfast and shit chains for Lunch.
They don't make 'em like that anymore (and therefor nobody would dare to tell you) :lol:
