Common users do not care about the System in the background. I have heard of Lindows before, but I did not test it because of the problems mentioned by you. Distributors are being faced with the problem called "OLE". Remembering SuSE Linux 7.1/7.2 I could copy and paste URLs from Netscape into KMail but not from KMail to Netscape. In Addition URLs send by eMail read in KMail can easily be openend in Konqueror but when I try to directly launch Mozilla (which is my favourite) nothing happens. Yes, there are solutions for this maybe, but the common user is not interested in Linux or Windows (and so may do those who have to decide between Linux or Windows-Desktops). They only want to work the way they are used to. cu MM -- http://www.mamemu.de/ - VMware und mehr :-) Registered Linux User:274764 - http://counter.li.org/ Der Forte Agent in Deutsch: http://agent-de.mamemu.de/ AdminTool für Linux: http://admintool.lingua.at/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
