There are some people in the world where, except for a government/postal 
job, their time is nearly worthless. That happens to be my predicament. 
Happily, in some cases at least, Slackware will install fairly easally. 
That's the problem......."Some cases". A corporation can easally afford 
NT or it's ilk, but not an individual. By keeping the price exhorbitant, 
you lose potential sysadmin talent. I would like to escape the Postal 
Service by getting into the "Information Age" job market, such as being a 
LAN admin. The cost of Netware(tm) and the certification test is 
prohibitive. The same is true with NT. The cost of this software, whether 
NT or Netware(tm) is definitely elitist. The above motive is why I would 
like to see NT or Netware(tm) at a sane price.
