Hi to all readers,

I am seeking for advice whether or not to dive into OS/2 (again).
I once was an OS/2 user, but I was so disappointed from the lousy
IBM 
support, that I left that system.  (we are talking about 4-6 years
ago - os/2 
v2.0).

I know that OS/2 is superior to WIN95 but I am currently diving
into Linux, 
multiple operating systems and local TCP/IP connectivity.  Is it
worth it to 
try OS/2 again?  (compare to Linux).  Is there any REAL advantage ?

Thanks for any opinion.


Jack

If someone ported the Object Orientation of the Work Place shell 
to FVWM2, ...........  Linux could use SOM.

Bingo!  LINUX with SOM would be a killer platform.
