thanks, anonymous coward. this is not the exact map i remember (the one i recall was musch more complete, solaris, freebsd, openbsd and netbsd were included). it's possible somebody took this map and added to it. however, it was a directed graph, but i'm not sure if it was a graphic image, or ascii-based. i'll keep looking. thanks for your help.
if someone is green to pgp than by far the easiest and most foolproof way to get them up and running is via pgp's native mail client plugins for outlook, outlook express, and eudora.
my suggestion is eudora light 3.0.6, at www.eudora.com. intutitive interface (remember netscape mail three ugly panes from hell? phooey.) and simple.
then stop by www.pgpi.com to pick up your preferred pgp version. 6.0.2 freeware works fine for people in the us. you'll want 6.0.2i (the international version) if you want backward compatibility, though. the great 'client selection wizard' will get most people through.
once you get these two programs up and running exchanging encrypted e-mails is a snap. just click 'encrypt/decrypt' (or sign, or whatever) right in eudora.
good luck. i've always believed that as more and more people use pgp, the 'digital worth' of each pgp-encrypted message increases. please help as many people as possible to download, use, and support pgp. it helps us all.
I for one am quite happy that Rob and Slashdot chose to celebrate April Fools Day. The Net has always been a rather jovial place and jokes and gags ae passed around everyday in e-mails, icqs, and web pages. If there is one place where fun hasen't been outlawed yet, it's the Internet. And I'm glad.
Of course, a joke is a joke. Completely faked stories on a reputable news site (!) may actually cause some people to panic, seize up, explode, etc. Which is why I'm glad at least this story was included after the BeDope-UserFriendly-SegFault story. That story had no mention of April Fools Day and was more of a prank than a joke. At least this Compaq one took you on a ride and then let you in on the dirty little secret.
also, i think the new site sucks. ugly. it's just sad that slashdot had to be part of the imminent demise of redhat.com...
i guess redhat got really mad that they didn't get linux.com, eh? the former owner of that domain chastised redhat for just tossing money at him, and not offering a linux-supportive plan for the web site. they sure are trying to be supportive now, eh?!?

thanks for the pointers, kevin. amazon and bn show 'magic garden explained' out of print. i'll check out my geek friends' libraries and other sources.

i once saw a map that showed a tree graph of how the various unices morphed, merged, split, and evolved. think anybody could point me to it?
