Because MS-bashing on a Debian-centric list does wonder for promoting the usage of FOSS software, right? Maybe you forgot how great of an OS Win98 was at the time. That was a different world than today, and even now seeing how responsive Win98 is on old hardware (it flies on 64 MiB RAM) it makes me wonder why Debian is sometimes sluggish on 512 MiB machines with >1 GHz procesors. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
