A Linuxban az a jó, hogy amikor már azt hiszed, végre minden működik… akkor kiderül, hogy csak eddig nem nézted a logokat.

De pont ez benne a szép. Nem egy fekete doboz, hanem egy rendszer, amit tényleg meg lehet érteni. Néha szívás, néha káromkodás, néha hajnali „na most már működj légyszi”, de amikor végül összeáll, az érzés verhetetlen.

És valahol ezért nehéz elszakadni tőle. Mert nem csak használod - hanem lassan kiismered. Aztán egyszer azon kapod magad, hogy már magadtól javítasz meg olyan dolgokat, amiktől pár éve még csak néztél volna üveges szemekkel.
