Linus is a bomb-thrower, and I'm sure my opinion that Linux is "complete and utter crap" carries just as weight with him as his comments should with you. if people seriously ask you to consider linux, ask them which one and why that one and not the others. That should keep them out of your hair for quite some time. Seriously, HFS has been around an awfully long time in a lot of places to be so crappy. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
