yup. i remember making chicken linux floppy distribution when i was new to
linux. heck. i even remember other people who i compared notes with to get
the dang thing running. admulinux is wonderful distribution for the
hacker. admulinuxGO is the best teaching tool idea i have encountered in
along time. it makes me wonder if TROLLS existing only in the m$ world. i
guess they also do in the linux world.
maybe they have their own Philippine Linux Users Group and they have a doc
mana clone!!! not as good as the real one though.
