Except that, in my experience, (a) Linux security problems seem not to be as serious (possibly because there aren't as many Linux systems installed, so it's not as much a target, but possibly because it is better engineered) (b) I don't have to pay big bucks for every major upgrade -- neither for the software not for new CPUs, hard disks and RAM to put it on. (c) I trust Linux more, as, apparently, does the Chinese government. I always wonder what trojan horses are included with the security updates. Perhaps things like copy-protection or spyware. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
