I think I recall that and believe it might have come up since, but no time in the past several years that for sure. I think we have all evolved to a point where we are not doing a comparison or contest. Just each providing information on a given distro. Not what makes it better or worse, just different. > At this stage, I will be more than happy to skip my Tuesday pool night > and actually attend a LUG meeting, and give a presentation on Ubuntu > (and Slackware if needed)....

Why not make a meeting out of it next month or another? Something like "Windows in a Linux world" Why, when, where, one might want to defy sanity and run Windows :) -- William L.
