Dear Mike and Tracy; I recommend "Halls" to get rid of that delicate cough!
It sounds like it's spreading to others in the forum.

Hi guys.
I must admit that I am sending much of my e-mail from root. You are
correct in that this is generally a Bad Thing. However, I am making so
many changes to my system at the moment, many of which have to be done
as root, that it is impractical to keep changing.
Once I have got this
Me thinks you need to find the root of the message... I simply added a
comment.
cheers, Mike

Okay,
I believe if you go back to the 'newbie archive' from the mandrake home
page, you'll find a message in this thread that talks about newbies and the
importance of talking about every aspect of computing and how it compares to
the Linux- Mandrake model (not quite in those words). It's not
I'm quite sure Mandrake dosen't mind all the Windows bashing one bit.

We have one Novell server at work, one NT server, and one Linux server, and
we're getting a second Liunx server. (yay!)
But everyone's workstation currently has to run Windows, though I am hinting
broadly about how grand a Linux workstation or two might be. ;)

Wow Kathleen...sounds like you all are going to get there before we
do. There's a project in the works right now that will be using a Linux
Mandrake machine as a database warehouse and server, but other than that I
don't see the management allowing a workstation change-over anytime in the
near,
something to
offer. Let us try to not be so racist. That is my only point.

The easiest way for this to make sense to most people is that you had to

The problem here is that you're all right to some extent, and that's causing
all the disagreement.
Point #1 ) Darren,..You're right about this forum being for Linux help
news,
When I had to re-install Win98 recently (don't ask! heh), the installer
checked to see whether the partition had DOS formatting or VFAT or
whatever...
Now I'm confused!
Kathleen, with way too many OSes
You do need to configure the partition on which you're going to

Yes i agree. But, 1. this is for linux news not personal views on
Windows.
2. The claims (which are obviously biased) that Win9x is not on operating
system is just rediculous.
It was not my intention to become part of this silly "is it an operating
system thread" but since you've demonstrated yourself as being one of the
reasonable, and knowledgable folks here I'll comment further.
i don't agree. I believe most linux users, new or not so new,

Microsoft did make computers easy to use. They made the first endureing GUI

makeing it easy to use also made it unreliable and insecure.
