And a frustrating one. I really want to come up with something cool and find a way to make money off of it. Like a commercial GNU/Linux distro that is completely libre. I don't know if anything like that exists. Like a Red Hat Linux, except with proper terminology  and a libre philosophy instead of merely "open source." |

Having it completely Libre will mean the OS is free too, so your best bet will be to run a business or something like that where you seel a service like installing GNU/Linux on people's computers, or you program a web site for them using only Libre code.

Web development doesn't interest me much, I'm afraid. But RMS says that just because software is libre doesn't mean you can't charge for it. It's probably not a good business model because the end user is free to redistribute the software as he sees fit, but OS/software deployment and administration is definitely a thing. Not something I'm personally interested in doing, but it might be a good business for you.

I can do it on a hobby basis, but don't think I would do it as a full time job.

Maybe I'll do the public a service and install Gentoo on random library computers. |

Sounds like a good way to land myself in jail. |

The IT department is too stupid to run emerge -auDN @world once a week with the stable repos enabled. |

They should run it every day, so it's so drilled into their Micro$haft "brain washed" brains, that they don't know about anything else. |

I run it every day!
Gentoo is too good for those Micro$haft fools.
