You thought you saw loyal fanatics in Linus camp? You haven't seen anything untill you meet us, Mac nuts :). And that board is also frequented by PC people as well, - very good deals on all kinds of hardware not only Apple stuff. I don't need a Mac for xvzf|\@\-ing. I need it to grab something, drop it somewhere flip it over and be done with it. I don't need no freaking inetd, crypto-quazi-schmazi-zomething. Give me anything that will come close to Eudora, MT-NewsWatcher on a Mac or The Bat! on Windows after 30 years of Unix growth. Still using Netscape on Solaris? My condolences. The same goes to people who serve on Windows. <G>There is no Universal Tool(Unless you are MSFT employee). But for the desktop, Oonixen will have to go yet another 30 years. KDE, my ass. Try to offer it to somebody who has to meet a deadline. It's a pity they killed Be OS... one of few truly innovative things. I don't really need a multiuser box in my home the only merit of which is that it's 10 years old and still working. I have a 10 year old LC475 with much nicer interface that runs MacSSH for me when I need to administer that BSD box I also love :)) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
