I suspect that there is a certain amount of debugging code left in a lot of the stuff built for/on Linux. I happen to like Linux, and if you boot it on a fast machine, it boots a lot faster than a slow Windows machine, I'll tell you that for sure! ;=) The fellow who said Linux is worth the wait was right, altho XP actually has solved a batch of problems guys complained about--and created new ones, of course. They think they are "features." But I do wish, now that Linux is a more-or-less mature product, that a bit more attention would be paid to making it and the programs it runs bug-free. The reason I'm not using it now is that it crashed, big-time, and I have been too lazy to fix it. And if it can crash, there should be some easier ways to fix it. If I had a boot floppy with a program called "FIXIT" on it, it would sure help! Well, I'm only half kidding. I'll probably just reinstall it, Windows-style, but I haven't talked myself into that yet. --doug
