Let me put this as gently as possible. You must be able to open a termial
window without shaking and vomiting from fright, and be able to say
something other than. "O my god! what does this do?" to be able to
appreciate the REAL power and STABILITY that is NORMAL and expected from
Linux. Since these things don't exist in the Windows world I'm really not
suprised to hear you say what you've said. You haven't yet swalowed the
last bite that Micr$oft has fed you.
You know...it's not polite to talk with your mouth full... :)
And please... take no offense at these ramblings, for that's all they are
and weren't meant, in any way to suggest that you've got an IQ less than
that of a piece of lunchmeat. I just couldn't help myself. I get silly
everytime I hear a Windows user wondering what all the hype is about
sitting behind their WINDOWS screen mailing to a LINUX mailing list!
I don't know...maybe it's just me. Either get in the water and test it and
then decide whether you like it or not, but please...don't sit on the wall
and say the swimming is terrible.
