Mogerly, why did you post a threatening email to me on this Linux list? You could have emailed me directly, but no, you didn't do that. As far as having to explain my comments and not being allowed to attend PSU anymore, I haven't specifically mentioned any professor by name. I have yet to name anyone specifically. The only way to know who I'm talking about is to be a student or otherwise have information about who is teaching which class. If I were to be kicked out of PSU because I complained about a faculty member, I wouldn't want to stay there anyways. As far as the ReactOS comment, Linux+WINE is the alternative currently where the question of why are ReactOS users commonly anti Linux is very germane to a Linux list. The question of should they be working on Linux software instead of ReactOS is also germane. ReactOS is supposedly better than Linux according to many in the ReactOS community, why, I'm not so sure. Linux+WINE still has problems with certain fonts in Microsoft Word and other Windows applications such as Warcraft II simply do not work, probably because of DirectX dependencies. I'm not certain of this, but I suspect that one can't use TurboTax under Linux using WINE. There is opentaxproject, but they need someone qualified to add the capability to do Oregon taxes. I have a right to respond to a prejudiced atheist and to your threats as well Mogerly. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
