Yes, you can call your self brain dead if you have not been part of the IBM world for the last 30 years but IBM makes money out of adding a few buttons to the same boxes/software every year and then they sell it back to their own customers.
So now you want to run Linux on an IBM box ? The reason why the market is moving to Linux is precisely because of the constant "Upgrade fees" of IBM/Microsoft. You want to tell me we are going to get new/better features in Linux, compared to other Operating Systems that have been around for 50 years. So Yes, I agree with you... Brain dead is one way of putting it in perspective. Anton Britz On Nov 29, 2007 2:12 PM, Mark Pace <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I must be totally brain-dead today. That makes no sense whatsoever.
