\noindent{}Well, it's been a while, hasn't it?
I'm gratified that this zine has a small but dedicated fan base who have a lot of great things to say about it. The feedback that I have gotten has been nothing short of amazing. I appreciate every single bit of it.
It does make me sad, though, that I can't get these out on a more regular basis. When I was younger, I wrote all the time, but as I get older, I find that I write more slowly and often with great difficulty. Part of that is no doubt my current job (which I talk about chapter two) and part of it…well, all the things that go along with just trying to make it in this day and age. And a large part of it is no doubt due that I have short bursts when I get quite a bit done, and then long periods where I get nothing done. One of college professors said that I tend to ``run hot and cold'', some other people have told me that this sounds like bipolar disorder, and others have said that this is a natural part of the creative process for some people. I suppose there isn't any reason that it couldn't be all three.
Another reason is that I find I write best when I can work longhand. There is just something about the feel of pen or pencil on paper that really gets my creative gears going. Once they get going, I can usually switch to working digitally without too many problems.

\chapter{Other Flavors of Linux}
I admit, I am pretty invested in Ubuntu. But I don't have to be that way. There are \textit{lots} of ways to swim in the Linux pool. Just doing a quick search for ``linux flavors'' yields a lot of options:

This also omits Edubuntu which, as a former teacher, I am very interested in.
