The internet is my life because of my disabilites.<BR/><BR/>I had the choice between a machine with Windows on it, and one with Mandriva. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if you know anyone who is disabled, but you should know that we don't have a lot of money, for me to afford Windows would be about a year's worth of saving up my money. Linux saved me. Tux gave me a hug and a DVD, and I am still enjoying it.<BR/><BR/>So, from someone who can't walk, and can't acutally talk vocally. Thank you, not only to Mandriva, but to everyone who worked on, and with, Linux.<BR/><BR/>Dante, Out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-83845385717695651522008-10-20T20:02:00.000-05:002008-10-20T20:02:00.000-05:00heliosThanks for posting this.

It reminds me to be thankful for all the efforts of the developers and publicisers of GNU/Linux and FOSS, again.<BR/><BR/>No amount of "THANK YOU" is enough for the love, care, and hard work that goes into this every single day all over the world.<BR/><BR/>I am one ex-Windows user who cannot thank every one of you enough.<BR/><BR/>Please give all these people your support, you all know what I mean. Every little bit helps to encourage them to continue. If you think that they don't want or need encouragement to continue, think again. From the kernel maintainers to package developers to distro maintainers to bloggers who go the extra mile to bring freedom to anyone who listens they all need our support and encouragement. Give what you can; time, talent, or treasure.<BR/><BR/>amenditmanAmenditmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345522537672251667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-43092877945972483772008-10-20T19:19:00.000-05:002008-10-20T19:19:00.000-05:00Thanks to everyone who has given,in any form, to L...Thanks to everyone who has given,in any form, to Linux and the various distros.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to the folks that live on the forums and IRC channels who are there to provide help and give advice (RTM)<BR/><BR/>Thanks to those who proselytise.<BR/><BR/>And a special thanks to MS who encouraged me to find an alternative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-52902387028047587132008-10-20T05:05:00.000-05:002008-10-20T05:05:00.000-05:00And, for what it's worth, the thanks of James Dixo...And, for what it's worth, the thanks of James Dixon of Mannington, WV.<BR/><BR/>Though in my case the thanks go to Patrick Volkerding and the Slackware team, not Ubuntu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-53905608468560205862008-10-20T00:56:00.000-05:002008-10-20T00:56:00.000-05:00Hi Helios,I mentioned this blog on my Twitter page...Hi Helios,<BR/><BR/>I mentioned this blog on my Twitter page.
