Damn! Don't you people watch the news? We have a dog-eat-dog capitalist in the white house. A conservative Supreme Court and a conservative congress. All lovers of big business and the way it stirs the money pot.
What's wrong with that? As a dog-eat-dog, conservative, capitalist myself (you have to grin at that description, don't you? <g>), I am a big supporter of Linux. Linux isn't a parisan issue, it's a technological issue. Let's face it, whether you are a supporter of the GOP or a Democrat, we can all agree that both parties love to see money in their pockets - and money usually wins no matter what side you are on. The Clinton administration targeted Microsoft, but probably only because they didn't like the amount of money going towards their campaign. ;-) I might actually argue that Linux fits the conservative viewpoint quite well: 1.) It's very business friendly with a low cost per unit, and a good TCO too when combined with KDE. 2.) It prevents big brotherism, be it the government trying to aquire too much power or a business, it just can't happen when everything is open. etc... Now, of course you could try to point out the liberal advantages of open source too. The point is, it's great on either side of the aisle. -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.
