Since Im bored...
What would you say inspired you to go into the light?
Got infected by Malware, Viruses, .etc .etc. Oh, and I was a bit poor back then - I was stuck with a box that had the words "Pentium III" on a sticker. That thing is still in my basement.
What do you like about Linux?
It doesn't gobble resources up like a gorilla on steroids. It didn't work with my junk SiS card, but a friend took pity on me, and got me a low-end ATI Card for my birthday. Linux is also much more customizable, and can be stripped down to the core functions that you need. A lot of times, resource usage in Windows is caused by things that you will never use. Linux also provides a easy way to install software, without searching all over the web for what you want. In addition it is (quite) secure, and can be made more secure if you want.
Have you contributed to the Linux community?
Of course, why else would there be a orange tag right under my username
What points do you think are important in the history of Linux?
When Gnome 2.x matured. There was some kind of usable desktop environment. Ive found that many that become proficient at Ubuntu Desktop move on to servers and such, further increasing the number of users knowledgable about Linux, and those who become interested in it.
What don't you like about Linux?
Graphics are iffy. Today, if you want to get a Linux computer that won't have graphical issues at all, get one with a Intel 3000HD/4000HD Card. The Nvidia OSS drivers are quite slow, and the Nvidia Propreitary drivers suck and have problems for some cards. Oh, and they don't support Optimus, which forces users to use Bumblebee, which creates unstability.
I would generally have been okay with ATI as well, but they abanonded support for my 3650
