It's a sad thing indeed to read that someone claiming to "know what they are doing" is so willing to defend an operating system that at it's very best is still an experiment, free because even some five years after it's first introduction...Not even those people who "know what they are doing" have been able to stablize the kernel or develop simple, easy to use programs for it. Comparing Linux to something like SCO Unix is like comparing todays internal combustion engine with a steam engine. The Sunday Times article is unquestionably written for average computer users, not "those who know what they are doing". Linux may be many things but for the average or even advanced computer user it really is the OS from hell. Incidently, I have Linux (Slackware version) on one of my computers. Every time I want to raise my blood preasure, I use it (or try to) for an hour or so. Just a Colonial viewpoint of course! -- Doug Smith, Webmaster, http://www.netkiosk.com.au
