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?
