   I sometimes fantasise about being part of a workers cooperative dedicated to the development - and effective promotion - of a #Linux distribution. Of course, I'm the drizzling shits at coding so there's a slight obstacle there. But hey, my heart would be in it! (I've got a background of relatively successful fundraising, so there's that, at least)

     I remember being one of "those people" and one time saying to a Linux developer "More people ought to know about Linux!" and of course they replied, "We don't work in fucking marketing, we're busy trying to develop a damn good operating system!" It still makes me smile, and I still share the anecdote when I teach tech. More people like me, who are in constant denial of capitalism! There's something admirable about it.

     And just what for does the world need yet another Linux distro? There's only about a bazillion of them out there.
