I'm one of them, I run 100% linux at home now ( three or four machines, depends on when they work ;) I've run OpenBSD for a while, and I haven't had a working installation of windows since... *ponder* well, before year 2000 or so, I've borrowed Win2k machines to play Civ3 and Warcraft 3 when they appeared, but never used them actively... Work is even worse, its a 100% Linux solution :-) > For example, an administrator who runs 100% linux at home, but works > in both Linux and Windows server at work would not be 100% Linux by > this definition.

Yep, thats about me. I've installed win2k for a few people who are too afraid to touch the mouse when theres more than five lines of text and a checkbox, (and taken money for it) but never beyond booting, running update, reboot, update, reboot. > > There was a slashdot article a few weeks back that probably planted > the seed for this question.

I'd love to get a hand on a Mac OS X box or more, I think it'd be a great experience. :) //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!
