My first experience with a unix system was when I was younger watching Jurassic Park. "A UNIX system! I know this!" This piqued my interest, but the water didn't start to boil until I was in college. My hardware/software teacher told me to check out Ubuntu. "It's free" he said. I downloaded it and burned it to a disk and within a day accidentally wiped my windows drive. I scrambled to redo my homework and got to playing. Later in school I took a CCNA course and got very used to the CLI, command completion and more. I wished that I had this level of control over my computer...little did I know that I did. I messed around for a few more years with other *buntu flavors, Open SUSE, CentOS, Debian, etc. I was fascinated with virtualization for a while, and still am to a point. A few years ago I decided to try to install arch and failed miserably. I tried and tried until it finally worked. I felt like a kid again, it was as if I installed an OS out of thin air. More recently, I have grown more wise and decided to venture out a bit more. I would like to drop systemd ASAP...binary logs? Really? This brings us to today where I am searching for a solution which temporarily lies in gentoo, but will most likely end up somewhere in the world of BSD.
