Two great reasons to use *nix.

Why does every thread become a Whitehat vs Blackhat conversation :/
And you're not a hacker just by using *nix. For example, Linspire users are rarely hackers. (Other than a good looking GUI and easy of use, it's garbage).

Oh here's my definition list:
Cracker - White person.
Hacker - Person who cuts wood.
Whitehat - A hat with white paint pigment.
Blackhat - A hat with black paint pigment.

Nope. The instant you begin to use Linux, you're an elite hacker, regardless if you just instantly came from Windows.

Am I now? From your definition of hacker: "A hacker is someone who breaks into computers." I can't break into any of the computer on my network even if I tried (at the present moment, not using references). So please tell me how you become an "elite hacker" just by using Linux?

thanks. I worked very hard to figure out a way to do it discretely, but it appears you have foiled my plan. damn you. yeah tho dude, if you use linux you're automatically a hacker, even if you can't code.

Even if you use Linspire :( ? That shit is scary.

you mean hackers right? anybody who uses linux is automatically a hacker. even if you just type one command on a terminal, your a hacker... even if a 12 year old does it.

[Ergot]

Linspire doesn't inspire people to even know what a terminal is.
