I first heard about it in about 1994 when a Unix guy I knew told me about a type of Unix that could run on regular computers. He loaned me a POSIX book, but I didn’t really hear anything until 98. I started getting fed up with all the problems with Windows 98, and I started installing it and breaking it on any machine I could get access too. I don’t know how many floppies I formatted with each disk image of RedHat and Debian. I broke the school network a few times with things like accidentally setting up a DHCP server. I sent a patch to the kernel. I Learned a whole lot those first years.

It’s to be the replacement for Xorg/X11.

I found that using one of the guides that show the different series helped. Each one is a bit different even though they’re in the same world. I started with the Watch series, but the Death series or Going Postal series are my favorites.

Dune hasn’t been mentioned.

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series are fun. Use a guide to find which series sounds interesting.

One of the main points of the stories are how the robots get into situations where they hit an edge case or work around the laws.
