In da Wok ……

When you have to determine why things went wrong you need to know how they work.

linux helps you do thats

linux helps you use the knowledge you gain by tinkering with it in realtime

my linux laptop can become a router

my linux laptop can become a firewall

my linux laptop can become a ids/ips

my linux laptop can become a access-point

my linux laptop can become a pbx

my linux laptop can do all of the above at the same time

i have done all of the above

iptables is awesome , even when you have not understood it

through linux i realised that learning to script/program ( even just a little bit ) can help you tremondously in your job as a network engineer.

my job is fun again because of linux

linux teaches you patience

it strips away any sense of pride and leaves you a quiet and humble person

linux gives you peace

this post is to remind me why i keep using linux, on the days when i just want to rip apart my laptop and then puke on it

slitaz is awesome.
