yeah, i apologize.. i realized it after i'd already sent it.. i didn't
mean it as bragging.. i guess it's like this: everyone's different... I
want to know as much as I can about linux and using linux and
linux-complementary tools, but... well, i guess i was reacting to the
kind of equation it seemed to me you were drawing which says 'more
difficult/incomprehensible/hard to install == better'
I *can* say this: I always found MKLinux to be slow...
y'know... if you could probably pick up a used 7200 or such like pretty
cheap at this point...
just a thought...
and again, i apologize for the flippant/bragging tone of my last email..
