Thanks, Sensei. Best of Luck.

Damn this sucks.
Sensei, I am deeply saddened by your and our loss. Your absence will be felt by all of us.

You have done one hell of a job with LNO and I'm sure you will easily land on your feet. I commend you for the work you have done in bringing your vision to fruition. This was surely no trivial effort and I hope the LNO community can hold together in your absence.

Good luck and may God be with you.

Argh...I feel like I am going to cry.

All the best to you, Sensei.

Sensei,

thanks for all the help and the best of luck to ya... Even though I am a BSD aficionado now, learning Linux with your site helped me to evolve and even get a better job.

I have this funny feeling LNO will either be:

(1) Dissolved
(2) Renamed
(3) Totally revamped

I know sometimes I gave ya a hard time about stuff needing to be updated and changed, but that being said... There's no reason why you can't start another Linux site!

Enjoy your vacation, you've earned it.

Hasta la vista...

Well I haven't been here nearly as long as most people, but I've grown to love it. Sensei you did an amazing job...better than any of us could ever have done. I thought I'd never see the day...

Good luck, and have fun on that honeymoon! ;) You'll be sorely missed.

All I can say is NO! I won't have this. I've ben posting here, talking here, helping others, being helped by others, and I owe everything I am to Sensei. This is all because of you Sensei. This just isn't LNO without you. I really could care less about some money hungry corporate .COM *******S! They are not in it for the love of the game. They are not in it for the people. We are talking about people here. Not numbers, nut fscking dollar signs. In a few months this group of scum-sucking corporate's will have their slimey banners everywhere, and who knows how long before they go under with the rest of the failure .COM's. Sooner or later, money runs out. And seeming as that is all that these corporates care about, things will never be the same. So I guess this isn't just Sensei's farewell, but I will also be stepping down from my part in this whole scheme. I have no more need to come here now. I would like to wish those of you that I have grown close to a happy life, and easy installations. ;) This is no place for LinuxNewbie's without the Sensei. Hope you all survive out there. Goodbye. :(

Good luck Sensei. Sorry to see you go. This is my favorite site on the net.

I don't think these dot com types "get" Linux. First, they dump Patrick Volkerding and Slackware, now this. They obviously don't know what they have here with LNO.

:confused:

im terribly sad to see you go, i started my linux lifestyle with this site, and with all of the members which shared in my experiences...thank you sensei..i have learned more from your teachings than from any other. you have always been honest and fair...even with stiles during the election, which i will admit was tough....but thats what made lno great...its one of the last places on the net where people can have discussions about a variety of topics and not be put down for they're opinions....you will be missed...

can we get a group hug? ;)

Sensei,

I want to thank you for all you and your site have done. I can remember the days of Redhat 6.1 on my old pentium 200, fighting it out, and searching the forums here for the answers (which I found, thank you all). LNO has also been a site that has helped me get my job I've had for a year now with a webhosting company, and has helped me to help others out as well (mandrakeexpert.com).

Again, thank you so much for all the help and assistance, and thanks also to all that have posted such useful advice over the last year and a half. I really mean that.

How did this happen so quickly without me knowing? I feel robbed.

LNO has always been associated with Sensei (and LinuxGirl until she was forced out). It's hard to imagine it any other way. I can't imagine what LNO is like without Sensei. I don't want whoever that takes over your position to take the name Sensei. It wouldn't feel right. This site seemed to echo the type of person you are, always willing to help. You had given us our freedom when posting. In my mind, you had ranked higher than Linus himself because you had a personality we could see, where as Linux was just a distant figure that created something we all enjoyed. If there were anything we could do to keep you here, I would jump at it without a second thought.

I'll feel better if you help us keep up with you as to what you will be doing.

Don't let the bastards get you down. :mad:

OK personally I am reading all these posts, and I would suspect Sensei is too. So knock off the crap "Oh Sensei we will miss you so much... hey everyone come on over to linuxnewbie.lookalike.org!" You jerks are ->lame<-

As far as I'm concerned "This is the house that Sensei built!" Unless Sensei tells me outright or via one of his trusted moderators that the the new management is scum and not to be trusted, then I will stick around to make visitors to Sensei's house feel welcome.

You da MAN Sensei! But Al Gore still sucks!

Well Sensei, hate to see you go but as we say in the Navy, Fair Winds and Following Seas Shipmate.

I have one last request if you would please indulge me. I most likely will not make HAL any time soon so I was wondering if at all possible before you offcially clock out if you could grant me Sr. Grasshopper Status. It's a small request that if denied I would understand.

Anyhow, make yourself known and keep up posted on your status. And when are you and the missus gonna have a little Sensei?

Take care Bro'

It'll be absoultly horrid if LNO get's disolved! This site has helped me a LOT to throw off the noose of Microsoft and enter the Linux world. It's sad to see you go Sensei-san! Don't let the miserable hosts get you down and best of skill getting a new job..maybe you could get something doing web admin. :D
