I agree with Salman totally. I saw Linux in 2000 and it was love from first sight!
Using Linux in particular and open source in general allowed me to know the internals of Operating Systems and other software, enjoy the freedom of sharing free and yet reliable software, and share ideas and code with fellow open source developers in order to improve it.
Of course, at the time there was the infamous Microsoft anti-trust trial, so Microsoft was the villain of the software industry, and one has to fight its tyranny by using other software. Open source was our savior!
The whole process of discovering Linux and open source had a side effect also on me, I discovered what I can do, and I discovered that I am not a failure. It gave me huge self-esteem and confidence.
The only drawback was that In Bahrain (where I work) there are not many positions in I.T., let alone for Linux. So we have to do the necessary evil, Microsoft!
Dear Hashem,
I think things are changing. With a whole ministry changing to GNU/Linux and others using it for servers, life is more promising for you 🙂
