I’m Going In. (Freedom, Yeah!)
One of my problems in moving to free software has been a stubborn resistance to letting go of my old Windows ways and jumping in to the deeper end of the freedom pool. I’ve often indulged in despair when I’ve struggled with getting something working. It’s normal to feel some frustration when confronted with road blocks and wrong turns, but you have to just keep at it. Pete wrote, “It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.”
I’ve been getting over my self-directed FUD campaign and am enjoying the learning process these days. I really like the Unix way of doing things as opposed to Windows. (Although I’m probably going to miss some of my Windows creature comforts for a while.) I’m slowly gaining experience and confidence as I manage to figure out a few things. I can picture myself gradually learning GNU/Linux the way that I’ve learned Windows over the past twelve years.
And I still get lost and run in to dead ends that make me doubt my ability to do this “moving to freedom” thing.
