I've had this feeling for a while, that even we who know our history
are doomed to repeat it. I've escaped from the clutches of DOS,
Windows, OS/2 to Linux, transited through several commercial distros to
Debian, only to find I have to do it over again.

The difference this time, is that we have the source code, which is
what the previous revolution bought us.
