Well…there are a lot of things I don’t understand, but maybe I’m just weird in that way :)) I don’t understand why some people accept that what they know at this moment is enough and don’t try to learn new stuff and be better tomorrow than they are now.

And also, I don’t understand why lots of people choose to be jackasses and act accordingly to others when it would be so easy do not do this.
Now I am using fedora, before that I used debian stable.
