Interview with gaim Maintainer Rob Flynn (LinuxQuestions.org)
LinuxQuestions talks with Rob
Flynn about his role in maintaining Gaim. "
LQ) What was your first introduction to Linux? What was the reason behind you using Linux and was anyone in particular responsible for turning you on to Linux?"
RF) I believe it was back when I had a 386. I was probably around 12 years old. The computer was a hand-me-down and I couldn't get Windows to run very well on the machine, so, instead, I spent about a million years downloading some slackware disks and installed it. That's also when I taught myself how to program in C.
