Look, some geeks get their panties in a wad over distros - and it actually shouldln't matter. The reality is that we're not using a Microsoft OS. That's it. Full stop. When someone comes at you with that, counter it with: "Should I just run WindowsXP Professional instead?" -OR- "Everyone has their own opnion on linux distros; is it not enough that I'm running linux in the first place?" stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Television has brought back murder into the home -- where it belongs. -- Alfred Hitchcock
