Hi,


	Why am I using Linux and not Win 95?  Well I did use the Win 95 
beta over the summer and when the final version was released I used that 
for 25 days befor I returned it for a full refund.  

	Windows 95 is a very easy to use O.S. but that is all.  It is just
very easy to use.  It offers nothing over Linux in terms of power and 
flexibility.  I can customize Linux to my hearts content, even program
what the window buttons do in FVWM.  With Windows 95 you can change the
colors of things, but you can not define the environment or its behavior,
you can only modify it slightly.

	If you don't have time to learn, or you don't find learning interesting
I don't think Linux is for you.  For the person who wants to get a few simple
things accomplished without having to build (and therefore learn about) the
environment in which they operate, Windows 95 is probably a fair choice.

	If you want total flexibility, find learning enjoyable, have
time to read up on a few things and want power from your computer....
Linux is the obvious choice.
