I use MacSSH to manage my OpenBSD firewall only because I don't want to leave my quality desktop for that ugly beta stuff., besides, there is no such thing as quality e-mail client on any linux/unix. The Bat!, Callypso on NT, Eudora and YA/MT Newswatcher on a Mac. When 30 year old Unix will get anything at least distantly comparable, i'll look at it as a desktop. To call KMail a client even more so - a quality client is a propaganda stretch. I am not touching BBEdit,
Propaganda? Not at all, KMail in KDE 2.1 is extremely useable, dare I say the best e-mail client on Linux (and the only one I've found with a decent address book!). Now if you want something more, both Magellan and Aethera look quite promising.
an OS is not a condom, shouldn't fit all.
Exactly right, the OS as a whole may not fit all. But, in case you must be reminded even though RMS is constantly talking about this, Linux is just a kernel. What we see as the "OS" is much more than simply the Linux kernel. Maybe the home user doesn't need SuSE Pro with enough networking stuff to manage the entire internet, but that doesn't mean that Linux isn't the right system for the job.
sunset time for a given location is called a port. Yet nobody came up with a nice e-mail client to the day. Big infantile mouths. and if
Have you tried KMail in KDE 2.1.x? It is a very good client, comparible to Outlook Express I think. Like I said too, in a few months KDE will have a batch of Outlook-clones in the dual of Magellan and Aethera.
you are happy with this, that's good for you, but not for me. I need to grab a thing , drag it, drop and flip it over ... and be done with it. I don't have time for dissertations in man format on how to do simple things.
Then try KDE on for size. It doesn't require any of that.
I am not saying that linux is commercially doomed. Not at all. it has enough momentum to scare all interested parties. Just don't lose the momentum. remember the Java hype? In fact, it's Apple that's dying beautifully at the moment.
Agreed about Apple.
and waistes resources on ReiserFS
Waists resources on ReiserFS? What's waistful about creating a quality file system that is faster and more reliable than ext2? I use ReiserFS, and it's a dream to work with, you should give it a chance. -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
