We dont want to move to OSX. We just want to tweak Linux to look like OSX Do you have a how-to on this you can post Btw Im aint just about to move to SUSE as I prefer to start with a lite distro and build it up with what I need fro there Henry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Okui Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 8:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LUG] Switching back to Ubuntu...

Also SuSE comes with an RPM which will install the MS fonts for you. Haven't used Debian/Slax that much so I wouldn't know how SuSE and Debian compare fontwise.[2] Having said that, comparing OS X to OS 9 I think Apple has made steps forward, not back. Many UNIX diehards are actually using them since Apple put bits of the FreeBSD kernel (5.x at the time) into it. Net result: more people will move from Linux/UNIX to Macs than the other way round[3]. Of course that's just IMHO. -- patrick [1]from the headers of your email you are using Microsoft Outlook under windows. [2] though I'd guess there's a deb package you can apt-get to install the MS fonts [3] case in point: go through your LUG folder and check how many posts are made from mail2.app MUAs. _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
