* Yuri K (koroby398@yahoo.com) [010513 22:33]: -> ->As for Reiser FS, talk to Oyracle people: they lost a lot of data on ->RFS. Try XFS, it's sweet. My point was: instead of bringing in the ->Russian Death Squad to waste resources on RFS, they could finally ->get a nice and finally functional e-mail program. if you want to win ->this war, drop this snobbish MUA/MTA lingo - it doesn't help to bring ->attractive and elegant ladies into Open Source. it's called e-mail ->program for a normal person. it was an average person who made ->automobile ubiquitous, not Herren Daimler und Benz or Mr Ford and ->Dodge brothers. -> yeah, I am not to convinced that ReiserFS is the end all be all. I do believe that once XFS is past the 1.0 stage that it could be the one to go with..IBM does a really good job with JFS though. It's too soon to tell. Your right about the email...I have said over and over again that most email clients under Linux/Unix blow badly as far as the end user is concerned. It's taking longer to get there, because even though Linux has 3.8% of the desktop and Mac has 1.9% (latest study that was on CNN yesterday)..ISV's like Qualcomm don't seem to get it that they could make money from their software under Linux. I know 100's of people who would kill to have Eudora for X..but there is still a free beer mentality in the OSS community..so they won't port the software because they figure it won't sell..even though it would be a simple port of the OSX version to XFree..no problem. You should check out Evolution..it's an Outlook 2000 clone and it has extreme promise. I personally will stick with Mutt, Fetchmail and Postfix. I guess since it's what I do for a living, I can be the doctor of my own computer world and set up my firewalls, MTA's and other such things ;) Have fun.... -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
