Linux

Linux Registered User #330878
Note: Some programs here are for Microsoft Windows and others are for Linux.
Linux is one of my hobbies. I am currently using Gentoo.
"Gentoo, because Gnome wasn't built in a day."

Miscellaneous

Generate gibberish

The LiteStep theme that I used to have on Windows:
Minimal (199159 bytes)

I use the Dvorak keyboard layout instead of the more common Qwerty layout.

I realize that it seems contradictory to have an any browser graphic right next to a Firefox graphic. A website should work with any browser, but I still recommend Firefox as it is currently one of the best in my opinion.
