ROFLMAO!!!!! Information Technology of the company STILL hasn't got that w2k build fixed yet?? I won't mention the company names (how you like it there? It's been 3 months since I left so I got 3 more months before I can get hired without contract penalties, if they offer of course).... Though W2K std build not company-ized does boot much faster. You just don't get the option to strip out unneeded stuff to speed up boot time at install. There is one group at the facility I worked at that did switch completely to Linux on their desktops and laptops though. My home w2k system works just fine. When I get Debian to install satifactorily, I do have a long term goal of replacing my IIS server with a Debian Apache system, and my seperate Exchange server with a qmail setup. Just got to get a stable understandable Linux system installed and tested first. :) Well, back to studying. ---------------------------------------------- Steven Peck [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sacramento, CA http://leaf.blkmtn.org > -----Original Message----- > From: Jack Coates [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 9:45 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Leaf-devel] bitwar (was New release of Oxygen (March > 2001)) > > > now now, let's all play nice before someone gets an eye put out. > Besides, everyone knows that real men use links :-) > > Mozilla 8.1 is nice -- I use it on Win2K and Mandrake 7.2. > I'm actually > getting excited that it might not suck when it hits 1.0. > > Did I mention that Win2K sucks??
