Root, I wouldn't go so far as to say Linux has beaten M$, but we are making headway. I believe Linux (and open source) is the future. I'm not sure how the economy is going to adjust to this, but there seems to be no stopping it. I'm sure some people will still be making software that is neither free nor GPL'ed. They will be able to make a profit for as long as the open source community doesn't have a good clone or substitute for it. That's fine by me. They deserve the reward for their hard work and initiative. The one thing that all of us out here in the free world should never do is become complacent. Never say we have won against M$ until Mom is using Linux. And even then, as Andy Grove said: Only the Paranoid Survive. (Good book BTW) Steve root wrote:
Hi,
As far as I am concerned, Linux has BEATEN M$ products and to prove this, read loads of on-line computer magazines which are telling us about the fact that Microsoft are "worried" about Linux and the in-roads it has made into Microsofts market! :-)
Welcome aboard!!!

Just a quick note to introduce myself.
My name is David Dustan and I am fairly new to Linux. I have had Slackware (96) and Redhat 5.0 installed at one time or another. I now have my partitions ready for SuSE 5.3 which I cannot wait to install! I see a great future for linux as the challenger for the MS products.
I will be in touch I am sure for the comraderie and help!
David
