Sorry, last comment for now, history class teaches us an amazing thing, throught time, invention and reinvention has happend, in our time, people couldn't posibly understand that we would use more than 2 mb of memory, it was thoughtless. Microsoft at one point, why use it? When we have this wonderful unix system, it treats our needs. Why have the new systems been built, lycoris, or elx or several others? we have our friendly indecisive mandrake distro, or many a distro is against using high class commercial software. You ever wonder why macromedia or adobe hasn't moved their products to linux? I had a friendly talk with a nice adobe exec today, maybe well see what happens...
If you havn't realized by now, in many ways, me saying what we are doing is linux is a misnomer, its much more comparable to macOS X. Using linux to build a ladder. Yea, its a bycycle when you get done, but compaire it to a new fancy mountain bike, the old bikes were good, but ya just can't beat the new ones. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > John, > > Well said :) > > Jim. > > > On Fri, 3 May 2002, John McCreesh wrote: > > > On Thu, 2 May 2002 21:21:19 -0700 (PDT) > > david scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > A lot of good input so far on ideas for our > linux > > > distro.
