A guy can't crack jokes?  How come the Moses comments didn't get 
quoted?  Is mentioning "THE NAME" off topic?  maybe some need to get a 
life.  A little humor adds fun to the discussion, IMHO. 

I think SUSE is great out of the box.  With Windows you have to go out 
and buy the extra software.  At $25 and up (each), that's a lot of 
dough, especially for the cash-strapped.  Is there a "Linux for kids" 
site somewhere?
