    Steve Gilliard, who wrote the Netslaves article, is a good friend of mine. For some reason he has trouble getting Linux going.

    For me it's exactly the opposite. I'm not smart enough to use Windows, so I stick with Linux.

    PS- PRIVATE MESSAGE TO STEVE G -- you got linked to from Slashdot, and I didn't have a thing to do with it. Are you happy now? :)

    Oh *please*. Slashdot at -1 is like a cross between a kindergarten, a federal prison and a mental institution. No thanks.

    Yeah, but isn't that what makes it so much fun?
