I put a winky face :-P I was just messin' anyway, I really want to try 8.0
And I run windows for the following reasons: My USB CF/SM reader only kinda works in linux (the CF side works, the SM side doesn't.. It's been a known bug for over a year yet nobody has fixed it.. I would, but I'm not a programmer) My scanner doesn't work (Snapscan 1212u, yes, it should, but it doesn't) I -NEED- Office for my wife to use for school crap I use the windows movie editor to do stuff with my MiniDV camera and there's nothing out there for linux that does it as nicely.. Of course I wish it would output the stuff in mpeg. But with that being said I have a linux (Gentoo) box that I tinker with to learn things, a RH7.3 box that's the scootz.net/guster.net server, my windows box does dual boot into RH7.3 and I have a Powerbook that was a dual boot OS9/YellowDog Linux box until OSX came out (now it's OSX 10.2) > -----Original Message----- > From: Ben Boulanger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 6:42 PM > To: Chris > Cc: Travis Roy; 'gnhlug Group' > Subject: Re: RH update > > > Hey Chris, > Don't pay attention to Travis's laugh - he runs windows. > > What RedHat screen does it hand at?
