Well, like you I've been with Linux since the time of
floppies (SLS?) and I love it, and I use it at work
for ship-to-shore mail transfer plus underwater data
acquisition, but I'm ashamed to say I've yet to get FG
running on it properly, so I mostly run it on Win98. I
will keep trying on the Linux side though :-)
TTFN!
