agreed. I think that people who do not notice the 'win' in winmodem do not have the mindset needed to run a diff OS (this does not only apply to *nix). I wonder if IBM gets those calls on OS/2 or BE on BEOS.
long long ago I tried to install RH 4.2 and failed badly. I cussed redhat because it was just to hard to install. About 6 months later I met the sysadmin at my ISP who actually came to my house with a debian CD and installed debian with me. He set my system just like a pro and showed me what he was doing while he did it. I have re-loaded debian a few times since then (not because it needed it rather, I was wanting to see if I could do it). I always run to him for help and he is always there to answer me. I have since then talked 4 other people into trying debian and they come to me for support. I like the way that works... someone was so helpful they they came to my house and set my box up and I have returned that favor to the linux community by possibly converting more users.
this isn't really relavent to the story but I am just so very happy that ms hasn't been able to make intuit fold yet =o) I am still waiting for the big "quicken for linux" story. The real one this time....

have you ever taken the time to read that help screen? it may be ugly but its very smooth.
apt also beats everything I have tried and is currently having gnome-apt written for it.
there is something wonderful about typing 'apt-get upgrade' and then taking a nap....

could this be pattern forming behavior?
anyone who works at a local ISP can thank AOL for keeping the bulk of the morons to themselves.

apples to *lemons* is more like it
umm that was 39.95 + tax!!
with windows pre-installed you get the OS tax-free
see it really is cheaper to run windows than linux.
ummm are new windows users not subjected to the these words?
