No the shop that it was purchased from had gone over to Caldera/SCO and tends to be a windows only outfit. The system is a refurbbed Compaq desktop system with 2k-Pro pre-installed, 128 meg of ram. And my BIL, who also does tech support for my ILs doesn't do Linux, and doesn't understand why I do.
I get the impression that those who don't understand we run Linux haven't run anything other than Windows. I experienced the same thing with OS/2. MS has people so brainwashed that they thing it's normal for computers to crash etc. On the other hand, I've been working with comptuers for about 30 years and know better. I've worked with mainframes, minis, embedded systems etc. I've run OS/2 on my own systems for about 14 years and supported it at work. Currently, I'm supporting Windows and my main question is "why would any company that values it's data, run Outlook?". I've never seen such crap. What really gets me, is the way that rebooting is considered part of problem determination, when you're running Windows.
