Microsoft Free

I just wanted to announce that even though I have purchased a PC laptop (school purposes). I no longer need to use any Microsoft products because I have successfully installed Slackware linux . I'm having a great time messing with this stuff.

Congrats. I use Slackware all the time on the PC side, and I am happy with it. I also ssh into it from my Mac at work when need be.
