Less sleep, more Linux

I am driving my wife crazy with Linux. I don't know what she is complaining about...

... Ok, ok, I may have spent a lot of time messing around with it... maybe...

Truthfully, I have a bit of a one track mind. I'm a lot like my dad in that way. I will get really excited about something, and for a while, it is all I can think about of talk about. So yeah, I drive my wife crazy with it sometimes. And most likely the rest of the world too.

Anyways, I have spent the last week and a half playing around with my laptop on Linux. I have broken it at least twice now with my meddling, but I think that is the fun part! It helps me to learn when I destroy things. I like having a laptop that doesn't contain anything majorly important to mess around with. So I have had to reinstall Debian at least twice now.

I am now a member of 3 Linux forum communities.

I have 3 versions of Linux installed on my 2 computers to mess with.

I went to Barnes and Noble to look at Linux books.

I haven't been to bed earlier than 12:30 am in the past week and a half at least because I am messing with Linux.

Do you think I'm obsessed or excited? I would lean more towards obsessed. But it has cooled down some. After breaking my installation so many times (Now that I think of it, it may have been 3 or 4 times now...) I have finally decided what I like and don't like, and have set it up that way. No more heavy duty experimentation... for a while at least.
