Of course, their tech support line uses SuSEphones! (Hey, if you're a punster and you see an opening like this, you have to take it!)

well that clears up a few things, thx.

is the word deamon DEE-mun or DAY-mun

i always say DAY-mun. when im unsure i just say "the little processes there.."

Well, in Atlanta, it may very well be DAY-mun, but for most of us it's DEE-mun.

I read once in the Atlanta Constitution about how New Yorkers in Atlanta were confused that a bagel is a huntin' dog in the South!
