I must say that I agree. Spread the word! I am new to Linux and I am having a tough go of it but if it were not for the fact that I am so unhappy with microsoft products I would not be so enthused about Linux. The more I learn about Linux the more I like it. One thought that I had was: I think Microsoft should/could write a GUI for Linux and let Redhat/Mandrake/Caldera etc. provide the OS. The latest Microsoft GUI's '98 & 2000 are pretty sweet out of the box. Check out a web site www.eazel.com. This company is supposed to be made-up of the original Macintosh developers and designers. I was never really a Mac fan but I believe if anyone can make Linux easy to use these guys can. I think no matter how 'windows-like' Linux becomes the power users will still be able to get under the hood and tinker. :o) By the way...you wouldn't know how to setup a ppp for Freewwweb.com would you?
