Been using Linux for 9 years. There's still a hell of a lot I don't even know I don't know.

Location: Holt - little, small, tiny, quiet town in FL - closes up at 8 p.m. sharp.

Shorty943 male born 1954 of mixed racial heritage, that is father Aboriginal(dark skin), mother Caucasian (white skin) strangely both human beings, so I just don't understand so called racism very well. live Tailem Bend SA Retired Navy Engineer have used both Winslows and a real OS conjunctively for ten years. current distro Mandriva 2006 soon to be upgraded to 2007 relatively new to computing- had to learn to drive them at TAFE at age 40+ studying Enviro Engineering( Civil Engineering for Tree Huggers.) do you need to know anything else youngster?

How many of you rejoiced at the switch made to Linux

by Munich, Germany? 14,000 computers 2(?) years ago!

Here is something beautiful beyond your wildest dreams MAYBE!

Subject:China

I have joked that in China there may be 5 legal copies of MS XP Prof.

No wonder there is a trade imbalance!

In some internet report, it was divulged that the Chinese gov had heard that

Microsoft had built back doors into ALL their software!

Hence! Given latent commie paranoia, what would you expect?

Switch to OPEN SOURCE!

14,000 is therefore just a drop in the old bucket!

Vista and IE7??? Think I'll wait 6-12 months or SP2
