"This portability is a huge benefit to organisations more used to the bewildering world of Microsoft Windows which comes in many incompatible versions that often struggle to swap documents in different formats let alone actual programs." Wow, the worlds most respected said this? Direct opposite to what MS has been saying, they have been trying to say that Linux will fragment like Unix did, but its not going to be like the Unix wars. Awesome :-). Matt
Very strange. konqueror refused to load the site. Just told me 'connection failed', but netscape loaded it on the first try. Has anyone else experienced something similar. Especially odd, since news.bbc.co.uk is apache on linux (and www. is apache on solaris, incidentally), so it's not an incompatible IIS thing. Anders On Friday 24 August 2001 21:31, Ted Harding wrote:
