10 I wanted to switch to Linux for a long time. Always had Debian in mind
11 (because of their FOSS attitude and community), then I asked a friend of
12 mine to help me migrate. He was a Gentoo user and offered to install
13 that...was ok for me, it was just for testing. So now I am stuck.
14 Why I stayed? Because of help available, because of the command line
15 integration that is better than others I know (I even liked the MS DOS
16 command line better than Windows 3.11), because of portage (despite all
17 its short-comings). And now because of the fun with the x86 project.
