I can definitely relate to "GNU". As a long-time Linux user, I remember the first time I sat down at an OS X machine and wanted to blow away a directory tree. "rm * -rf", I typed. "rm: -rf: No such file or directory", it replied.

I then learned how to build and install the GNU utilities.

I actually did pretty much the same thing. I had a solaris account at school and ended up filling half of my space on the server with gnu utilities because I didn't feel like learning Sun's "almost-right" utilities.

So many of these apply to me it's a bit scary
