I think chronological order makes the most sense.
First of all, I want to thank whomever it was that PMed 1-star newbie me during a debate, telling me that it's impolite to crap on someone's thread just because I disagree with him and he won't change his mind. I think I was Flounder who I disagreed with, but don't have a clue who it was who PMed me.
I want to thank all the knowledgeable members who made my first discussions about insane cooling methods here so much fun
Thanks to nihili for his world-class logicking. I'm glad you finally have a job that's worthy of you. I won't share any pics you send me stuff under an NDA. I promise.
I'd like to thank David and XWRed1 for helping Linux newbie me. The first weeks of the switch sucked, but you two made it liveable. I owe you a ton for that.
Thanks to rogerdugans for his help getting all the administratrivia cleared for my Alt OS FAQ and for the stick.
Thanks to all who were willing to proofread and suggest changes/corrections for my FAQ (in random order); DWolf (and his boss), SewerBeing, Suicide Al, SickBoy, DarkArctic, kaltag, Ryan0rZ (note the spelling
) and stabob.
I also would like to thank the Alt OS regulars like {PMS}fishy, Arkaine23 and XWRed1. It's great to know that I can be out of commission (stupid school) for weeks at a time and the forums won't suffer any.
Finally, I want to thank Arkaine23 for Overclockix and his contributions to Yoper, kaltag for his insane distro sticky and Titan386 for his Samba writeup. You guys are a credit to the community.
