It is still true
What is the difference between a computer salesman and a used car dealer?
The used car dealer knows when he is lying to you.
I bought something at an office supply store today. As I finished signing the credit card list the manager there said I could bring in a computer, any computer, for a free checkup. I immediately asked: “Linux?” and he said yes.
Afterwards I checked the slip of paper he gave me. I was not the least surprised to read “Must have Windows XP Service Pack 2 or newer.”
Not that it really matters to me: I can take care of our Linux systems (and the Windows ones as well).

Friday night and Saturday activities
The weekend
Three day weekend
Unlike a lot of people, I actually worked on Friday. The office was very quiet. Then I took three days off.

More Linux at home
As mia_mcdavid commented, I did a lot of work on one of my Linux systems last night. As I wrote last week, I had rebuilt one of my Linux systems with Ubuntu, a derivative of the Debian distribution.
mdlbear at the time suggested that I try native Debian rather than Ubuntu. After a couple frustrating evenings trying to get Ubuntu system exactly the way I wanted I decided to take his advice. He was right.
