Go to the next computer store and count Windows vs. Linux software. Just because you and me don't need that kind of stuff (well, I'd like that tax prep. software...) doesn't mean it's all useless. Also, try multimedia with Linux. I'm not talking about playing an mp3, that works, but that's about it. And no, there's no equivalent for MS 2000, definitely not. Yes, it crashes, but people use it anyway, and there's a reason for it. Also, the pair Exchange-Server/Outlook has functionalities Linux does not have, far beyond simple mail transport. It doesn't matter that you and I don't like Exchange servers, facts are facts. Talking bad about the competition doesn't help a lot. -- Michael Hasenstein http://www.suse.de/~mha/ Private Pilot (ASEL+aerobatics) since 1998 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
