I too arrived at Debian via OS/2. I really miss it though - I know it is
still around, albeit only just. I wish IBM would release the OS/2 GUI for
Linux. I like Linux, but I am exasperated sometimes by the lack of
comformity within X and how silly things like copying and pasting works
between most apps but not others, or how I can't get the Euro symbol
despite having followed advice from others who have achieved it, or how I
sometimes get silly little boxes instead of fonts - again I have followed
advice from all quarters - xfs on, xfs off, changing lines here, changing
lines there. Exasperating describes Linux well!
