Enthusiastic

Had to write in after reading December’s edition [ LXF218]. Bought a CTC Reprap 3D Printer Kit. Saw the coding, bought a Raspberry Pi (as a project) Bought LinuxFormat. Totally hooked. Installing Linux variants on all my old computers. Other half thinks I’m mad. I retire within three years. I’m really looking forward. Great mag, btw. I’m 63. BruceFoster,viaemail Neil says: I’m glad you’ve found Linux to be so much fun. For people that want to play, tinker and generally get their hands dirty with computing it’s the only option. Throw in the fun that you can have with maker kits, plus coding and there’s endless experimentation and learning to be had. While many companies are busily trying to lock down every aspect of their own operating systems and hardware, at least x86 and a good portion of Linux-based devices do remain open. Have fun!
