I'm growing fond of Linux. Like most others, I was raised in a Windows-only environment. Linux is more text-based it seems (at least when it comes to setting up servers, DNS, all that stuff), which I like. People often ask me why I like using text editors (like Notepad) to do things which can be done more easily with other software (like WYSIWYGs such as Dreamweaver). It gives me a better sense of control. I can actually see what I'm doing instead of just pushing a button or dragging something and having a program do all the work. That makes me feel lazy. I rather be buried in endless lines of code.
