But it is true. I'm not making it up. No hacks are needed. Linux
version 2.2 started using the modular approach and works very well. Try
the RedHat 7.x series.

Hardly. Why did HP put a stop printing button on their printers then?
So the end user could immediately cancel a print job. Windows print
manager seems to get lost very quick. Again, why did Epson Corp.
replace the windows print manager with their own??
Also, what do you think LP or LPR is? It manages printers over a
network or locally.
Your claims shows you don't know.

I looked over many and have settled on the one I liked the best. CDE
under Motif 1.4.
Without the choices I'd be stuck with what I was given. CDE works very
good and has been an accepted industrial standard in UNIX for many years
now. CDE was out long before windows had shown up. CDE is very
consistent.

True, but these are not included with windows when you purchase a

Any DVD will work. Just because it doesn't say Linux on the box doesn't
mean it won't work on a linux box. I had several distros of Linux on my
lowly IBM Aptiva. IBM said it wouldn't work nor would they support the
idea. Well, the distros installed without a glitch.
I've settled on the Sun Solaris 8 for now because it works so well with
my hardware.
My hardware wasn't on Suns' Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), but it
still installed.
And all the things MS software can do so can Sun as well as linux.
My question at this point is: what brand of machine do you own?
Its resources? Year it was made in? Have you tried to install linux on
it?
What version and distro?

Hm.
To wish for another Big IBM as a qritique against microsoft isn't sufficient
to open up the market in a competitive state.
MS Office offer alot that no one else offer. The overall interaction between
Microsoft products is the strenght of the company.
Linux isn't gonna be free bucks. They're gonna squeeze you for money.
You can tailor your own programs to work with MS Office and other MS Suites.
When Sun talked about distributed objects MS implemented it at a proper
time.
The Java language is just an overstated, idiotic system the serves no one
with efficiency in mind. C++ just do everything faster, more flexible, and
more efficient. Why would you ever wan't Java if you standardize your
company on Windows machines.
Oracle just boosted the DB prices with their per processor licensing model
which MS took after. Blame Oracle for all that's bad with prices on DB and
the internet interaction, concerning prices of course.
People buy MS products because they get something out of it. Ever tried to
use Borland products ?

Actually, most windows admins don't understand Windows, either...
but as long as there's a hippy-dippy interface, they can POSE
as competant authorities.
Which would you prefer:
A system where some no-nothing, self-deluded fool can muck around
your system fully convinced that he's improving things....
Or a system which makes it very clear that you ought to find out
exactly what the fuck you're doing before fooling with system settings
(and also provides full, USEFUL documentation for how to do it online)
Clue for the clueless:
Help defrag
"Defrag defrags your hard drive. Run defrag to defragment your hard drive"
Well, DUH!
That's not documentation...that's condescension.
