This is a very interesting thread. Seens that Billy has already manouvered to address
the Unix issue in a temporary manner with OpenNT a unix emulator that works at the
kernal level with NT. Now his little company is even handing out free Unix software. Now
isnt this a novel concept. I really dont know much about this as I only ran across this
site the other night and dont use NT. Im just a personal user of Linux, and love it. If
anyone were to review this site and do a detailed comparison of this system vis a vis
SuSE Linux this would be interesting. see  <A HREF="http://www.softway.com/OpenNT/home.htm";><A HREF="http://www.softway.com/OpenNT/home.htm</A">http://www.softway.com/OpenNT/home.htm</A</A>> In my
mind, this is a threat to Linux. SuSE and other distributions, simply by the fact that
the typical user is slowley being intriduced to a Unix platform from a very simple and
familiar platform. IMHO while the the win 32 thing may not be an issue for advanced
users, or Linux enthusiasts, it is an issue of marketshare which simply means exposure.
Aagain,  in IMHO, this  needs to be addressed by the Linux community in order for Linux
to continue its meteoric rise to fame.
