Hey Group; I am trying to convert some people to Linux. As a person that has not used Windows in over eight years I am not certain of the current limitations of Windows when compared to Linux. I know of its basic headaches like crash, poor memory usage, lack of reasonable security, virus problems and license cost. I hear most often concerns about linux - "lack of help". I normally reply with "When was the last time you emailed Bill Gates and got a answer? I have emailed an heard from just about any Linux software maintainer I have ever emailed in less than a day". However, I am in need of some of you that use or used Windows and know of its less obvious problems to add to my "Linux Benefits" list. If possible seperate into versions - 9x, ME, XP, NT/2K and their Sever systems. (Not to mention Microsoft "Services for UNIX 3.0"). Unless it is like yesterdays "Swiss cheese" security flaw. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net SOT = (S)ort of (O)ff (T)opic
