I'm not the lesser bit concerned that I'm not using the best operating system in the world. If the whole world eats Macs, it doesn't prevent me from eating a good meal. If everybody uses Windows, I will have problems getting streaming video. This Mac comparison has spread for years to comfort know-nothing geeks. (Cause, in their own way, geeks can be know-nothing too!)

W3Schools is for people who want to *learn* about... let's say, operating a web site. And you don't believe it's normal to find more Linux people on their servers? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
