Hello,
I have SuSE 5.1 running, and I had to go out of town. So I took my PC apart and hid it like any respectable paranoid would do. Up to my leaving, SuSE ran beautifully, using EzPPP as my Internet connect. I have sung the praises of SuSE to everyone I have met.
When I returned home, and tried to log on using EzPPP, I would get error messages, when trying to use TCP/IP to Mindspring.
The messages basically said that there was no entry for any nameserver at Mindspring. I couldn't connect to pop.mindspring.com nor any web site.
The system worked perfectly 1 month ago. What happened?
I can use Windows95 to get online, but Linux is not allowed.
In the intervening month, while I was gone, Microsoft bought off some judge to allow them to distribute Win98 with IE4 Browser built in, and Mindspring's stock just recently split, with a tremendous gain. Do you smart guys out there see why I'm paranoid?
Does anyone else out there feel that some government entity has aligned with Microsoft, to force everyone onto the Microsoft bandwagon?
What does this say about the Internet? Who controls it?
You can call me paranoid, but this did occur. I'm using Win95 right now, to upload this.
I freely admit that I might have made some error in SuSE configuration, but why did it work fine 1 month ago, and stonewalls me now?
If anything, this speaks for more strigent anti-trust legislation against Microsoft. Of course, that would be useless if Microsoft is a front for some intelligence agency , as I suspect. As any "paranoid" knows..... you can't fight "them".
Your "delusional" Linux-loving friend, zentara
