[edit] About me

I use Linux ( Gentoo and Slackware 10.0 ) mainly but will often use Windows XP for FPSs like Red Faction, etc ( until the big crash occured and i ditched it ). Not to mention a bit of Warcraft III and Frozen Throne. I program in C, PHP and know (X)HTML ans CSS. I do some web-designing for Champion Dragway, the only permanent dragstrip in the North Island of New Zealand, including running a private wiki for them. I consider my web designing to be minimalistic and despise large flash intro pages or excessive use of Javascript. I am studying at the University of Auckland at the moment.

[edit] Wiki articles for software that i find of interest

Regarding the whole GNU/Linux naming thing, i think that there are cases where this is the correct naming but normally i think it should be called Linux. In the same way it would be technically correct to call a certain system IE/Office/Windows then the Linux form of that would be GNU/Linux ie Linux is the OS but GNU provided some of the programs / apps that run on the OS. However most of what i use is stuff like Vim, Firefox, KDE, OOo, etc all of which are most certainly not GNU nor are they all even licenced in a way which GNU likes.

While i agree ( to some extent ) that companys need to protect their products, they shouldnt have to steal my computer to do so.
