A Geek Moment

I am writing this on a my laptop, using a Linux operating system that I did not have to install. It is an online distro called Net Cubicle. I am using it on a free trial basis, and it will probably be a while before I can purchase a permanent version. However, this is very cool.

Features:
* Open Office suite
* Konqueror and Firefox web browsers
* Numerous games
* Easy-to-use chat software
* "The Gimp" photo editing software

The one drawback is that, because I have Windows XP running in the background, it is kind of slow and clunky. This could probably be solved by setting up a lower screen resolution on the linux desktop.

You left out one thing a "true geek" would never leave out of a post like this: a link to the site where you found this terrific software. I guess other geeks will have to Google it for more information!

Oops. I thought I had put one in. It has been corrected.
