Just wanted to add my $.02. Linux has some problems. To get the performance of IE5 and Word97 on Win95 with 48 MB and a 233 MHz processor, I needed 256 MB on a 700 MHz processor (running Konqueror, primarily). (I run AbiWord on Windows, when I'm not running Word97.) Linux will get there one day, and is already there at the server level. The advantage of Linux is that it provides competition for Microsoft, which is why I'm sticking with it -- trying to learn more, improve it (if I can), and support it. I think it is in the best interests of all of us to push for viable competition to Microsoft. It is unfortunate that some people feel mislead (myself included) by the "promises" that we thought we heard about Linux. I want to be careful about what I say about Linux -- I'd rather have somebody be pleasantly surprised than unpleasantly surprised. Randy Kramer
