Anthony Atkielski <anthony@freebie.atkielski.com> types: > That isn't going to happen. Linux is a flavor of UNIX, and the architecture of > UNIX is incompatible with heavy desktop use You've said this before, but haven't done anything to demonstrate it. I've been making heavy desktop use of, and supporting users making heavy desktop use of, Unix since 1985. Nothing has happened during that time that in any way indicated that Unix is "incompatible with heavy desktopp use." Quite to the contrary, every time someone has asked me to work on Win 9x or Macs - through the mid 90s - they crashed regularly under my normal usage patterns. That convinced me that, if anything, those operating systems aren't suitable for "heave desktop use". In other words, I've got over 15 years of experience in direct contradiction to your statement. I'd like to hear what evidence you have to back it up. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.
