How fucking "out there" can you get? (stupidly large images)

YES! YES! Linux is the badge of l33tness! That's probably one of the funnest things about it. Why the hell do you think Linux users call themselves l33t, it's not as easy to learn as windows, and it's users are powerful and truly elite, one step(way more then one) above the rest of the mass market windoids. How could you not be proud of that?

First of all, very rarely have I ever heard anyone that uses Linux call *themselves* "l33t" or "hax0r". If someone does then they are obviously childish (probably 12 years old or under) and probably are actually Windows users who have maybe tried to use Linux for a day. I see more Windows users use that word to refer to Linux users for reasons I still do not understand.
Like I have said many times, I have used Linux very heavily from nearly the beginning of it's life. I have not once called myself l33t. I defy you to find a post that I have authored where I referred to myself with that word or anything close to it. I feel that I know more about Linux than most people, yet I certainly do not claim to "know all" or "be l33t" because that would be just plain idiotic and wrong.
In UNIX and in Linux, the more you learn the more you realize that you don't know. Usually people who start using UNIX and/or Linux incorrectly think they know most of what there is to know at their first major breakthrough where they begin to see the light. Those thoughts quickly come crashing down when someone else shows them a better/easier way to do something than they have been doing it. UNIX is a very humbling OS, especially the more you learn about it. Anyone who refers to themselves as a "l33t" Linux user are likely 12 years old and have learned that they can do a directory listing by typing "ls".
As far as the BSD vs Linux bashing. They are just as idiotic and a waste of time. Use what works, and does the job for you. I use both in different situations. I also use Solaris/AIX/HPUX when I need big iron.
