Top ten reasons you know that you are a Linux user:
-
You have more beta-development programs on your computer than stable releases.
-
You don't cringe at the bad puns (and you know that this point refers to).
-
The last time you actually bought software from a physical store was, well ...
Are there any software stores in town ?
-
Whenever you use a floppy disk on any computer your instinct is to mount it
first and umount it before removing it.
-
When a Windows or Mac user comes to you with a problem manipulating a text
file, your first thought is, "but that is so easy, just use sed or perl".
-
Your old 486 is faster than your friend's Pentium. (O.K. this was written
in about 1999.)
-
Your programs contain more punctuation than alpha-numerical characters.
-
You get in heated arguments about the merits of vi vs. emacs.
-
"grep", "yacc" and "awk" don't sound like rude expressions.
-
The command:
- sed -n "100,$s/\(\/\*\) *\([^\*]*\)+\(\*\/\)/\1\t\2\t\3/" a.c
not only does not give you nightmares, but you actually understand what it does.
