CA>TA> Understood. Will see you all on the Tech Echo re linspire

CA>Why the reluctance to discuss this Linspire in the LINUX echo
CA>where it belongs? ;-)

Possibly because I geneally receive even more antagonistic
responses from the linux geeks that make up the majority
participants there, who often appear to be academics who are
putoff by commercially successfull enterprises such as Windows
and linspire (nee "lindows" before the Netherlanders courts
supported Bill Gates, who had lost in all courts here in USA 8-(

When you have an opportunity to try linspire you will probably
realise it has done for linux what windows did for messy-dos;
make it usefull to be used by millions of nerds like myself.

I take your point of the microsoft windows focus of this echo.
I will try chooseing the middleground in the Tech echo where
I hopefully won't antagonize anyone in my explornation of newer
operating systems.

Ciao, Ack.
