Larry, I think you missed the point of the original message. Sometimes
people need to just be honest that yes, Linux has made a lot of improvements
but still does have some of it's own problems. That's all it was - not a
slam to Linux or Mandrake or anyone else. Of course, everybody has their
own take on that depending on their experience, and how they got where
they're at. The problem is that sometimes people try to deny that Linux has
any problems at all, which just isn't true and that's what led to the long
string of replies in this thread. That's the jist of the thread and yes,
win2k does support usb (and I believe that one of the service packs also
brought it to NT 4 - not sure on that however).
