Hi Anders, livens things up a

Perhaps, but that is fun this is potential flame war material particularly since at least one person here (me incidentally) does not believe that Microsoft is evil or Bill Gates the anti-Christ (me BTW) and such things are neither constructive or of any great use on a list such as this.
The topic of this list isn't "technical support" it's "General discussions about SuSE Linux", incidentally.
So perhaps we discuss something like "Babylon 5" on this and say how brilliant it was (sure to annoy the Trekkies) just because all the graphics were handled on Linux/Unix workstations? Perhaps we should discuss the management of porn web sites (or perhaps paedophilia) on Linux based servers? Do you see what I am getting at? I understand why people feel strongly about (& anti) MS, I even feel some of it myself, but it simply comes across as "everybody hates the top dog" regardless of whether they should or should not be that dog.
