hehe, I agree with you on that one:-) Actually, I've had better luck getting
things to work in Linux then I have in either Win95 or OS/2 Warp 4! About the
only thing I miss in Linux is some of the applications that I use on a regular
basis in the other two (Mainly OS/2) operating systems.

As far as networking goes, Linux is a lot easier to set up, but it is still a
bit weak on UI as far as applications such as Wordprocessors goes. (I still
like IBM Works for Letters and things like that). Sure, there is a lot of
editors in Linux, but as far as formating a ascii file and converting to a
postscript for printing, the learning curve on that is very steep:-( But, I
have been exploring Xemacs and from what I've seen of that?
