what is a troll ?
usenet term for an obvious attempt at drawing flames. Also "flame-bait". Basically used to create a lot of un-produtive offtopic posts and traffic to a usenet group and/or maillist/web forum.

Hi everyone,
followed this thread for a while.
For me the fundamental differences I have seen are: Linux (all versions) based on sharing, M$ Windoze (all versions) based on greed.
Just seems this way to me.

Jack,
I'm not a troll. I've been using Linux for 7 years and I have a 1st class degree in Comp Sci. I think I know what I'm talking about, and I also know when I *don't* know stuff, which is more than can be said for a lot of people.
What actually caused my original post was when I saw that Windows 98 (I think, maybe NT or W2K) does what we call IP masquerading. It seems that Microsoft is catching up with the system level power of Linux and slowly erradicating our advantages. This worries me.
If you think this is also a troll, kindly keep your mouth shut and let others make constructive comments.
