There's no point spouting opinion as if it were fact at the same time you're chastising someone else for doing so. As to Linux not being good for the desktop, I've been using linux as my only desktop OS for somewhere around 6 or 7 years now. I obviously think it's more than just good for the desktop at this time. I feel crippled when I sit down at a friend's computer running Windows. > you can argue about linux being great.. but that the apps to run it > aren't.. that's a specious argument, but the bottom line is that i > still wouldn't put the desktop apps on linux and hand it to my > mother!! If you'd sooner subject your poor mom to the virii and security holes found in Windows, IE, Outlook, Excel, and nearly everything Microsoft puts out than give her an OS that will just work for years at a time, you're welcome to do so. But I'm sure more than a few folks on this list would consider that a cruel thing to do to your mother. :) - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== I advise you to go on living solely to enrage those who are paying your annuities.
