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.
