I'm not old enough to have that much of a younger self, but here goes:

-Eat less. For god's sake.

-Seriously, put less sugar in your diet (I still need to do this in the present...)

-For crying out loud, practice. Just, practice.

-Don't spend so much time doubting yourself. 90% now is better than 100% never, and if you don't just start doing it, never is when it'll happen.

-Once you get a handle on Linux, ArchLinux is the way to go.

-Learn Scheme. It's fantastic.

-Keep track of those old disks. You'll regret losing them one day.

Why is ArchLinux better than Linux in your opinion?

Not better than Linux, but if you know what you're doing, it's the best distro out there.
