There's some to be learned from tinkering with linux, and I'd like to do that; sure it does look cool too, but I just mainly want to learn how things work, how they don't work, etc. Thanks, ~~TheCreator~~ Visit TDS for quality software and website production http://tysdomain.com visit the piratecafe for programming related resources: http://piratecafe.net msn: tyler@tysdomain.com skype: st8amnd127 ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Heim" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."

Really, there is little point in using one's own kernel nowadays (except applying patches). And bragging rights. Well, I suppose that would only work on the uninformed. If you tell someone in the know that you're using a custom kernel they might think you're a dope. When I was fairly new to linux, I ran into somebody at a party and the conversation turned to how we spent our spare time. I said I was trying to get up to speed on linux. This other guy said he was into linux too so I asked which distro. He said, "I make my own." At the time I was very impressed. But now I say, "What a waste of time." _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup __________ NOD32 3380 (20080822) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
