Why did you choose Linux? (was Re: [Gllug] Onetel are CRAP!!)

[John Davies]

I originally got into Linux purely because it was a
free (beer) UNIX clone available for PC hardware. I
prefered the philosophy behind UNIX as opposed to
Windows.

I was aware of alternatives like FreeBSD but I can't
remember why I chose Linux over it. Maybe it was
because Linux had (and still does) bigger mindshare.

It was only after started using Linux, that I
understood the free speech argument.
