There are far to many "sometimes". Carry a knoppix cd around. It is very useful, particularly when u have limited time- cyber cafes, clients office etc.
Do you know how much time it actually takes to start a live CD on a P4 with 128 MB RAM? Who is going to go through the pain (read time) required to boot a live CD, then setup networking and what not, just to check email? And plus, there are things like CMOS password and administrator privileges which make it very difficult for you to do that. Frankly, I don't think its the OS that might be causing these problems. Its because many people are taking advantage of Google's ability to crawl the web and fetch email addressed from mailing lists. I feel its inevitable. I never check mail from any other other machine than my own, but still I receive over 30 spam messages a day on gmail. This is because my email address can be found on several places on the web. Now, I can't help it! -- Regards, Sanket Medhi. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
