I also find it amazing that for the longest time people said " if it doesn't hold your hand and do A, B and C then it won't displace Windows.." and now that it hold's your hand..even to the point of holding it down as MacOSX and WinXP do...now people are bitching. I just don't think that anyone can be satisfied.
*shrug* I don't say this to start a flamewar and anyone who gets to out of line with replies will get procmailed to /dev/null... 'nuff said.
That's what I find stupid about this argument. As a former Mac and Windows refugee (I started on Mac, moved to Windows, then to Linux) I find Linux, particularly SuSE, to be perfect for me. I can get my hand held when need be or when I don't have the time to decipher text files and the rest of the time I usually admin the system from the command line. It's solid, professional and I think it really lets you have your cake and eat it too. It's the best combination I've seen, at least. I don't get it. I use my computer as a desktop computer in addition to running a web server, tomcat, programming java and a number of other things. It does them all much better than my Win2k box at work and it gives me the flexibility to manage it as I see fit. Preston
