minty fresh

so, i just installed linux mint on my computer, and its quite exciting. for those of you who (heavens to mergatroid) dont know what linux is, its an open source OS, which roughly translates to: kicks windows and macs asses and ya dont have to pay a dime. its so awesome and effective, you can run your whole computer off of a cd. awesome, no? anyhoo, pretty soon i'm gonna install a "virtual machine" which means that i run the windows operating system inside of linux, and it actually runs better than if i were to just be running windows. now one of the other neat things about linux is that i get a ton of programs with it absolutely free. one of the ones i'm most excited about is called GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which is almost exactly like photoshop only that its free and i havent figured out yet how to deselect parts of images in it. with the virtual machine thing, i should be up and running on at least three games soon (BFME 2, RCT3 and RF online)

i'll finish this on the morrow, my parents are kicking me off
