I do use it. I use Slack 7.2 and guess what, it works fine, but the gui sucks. When the gui gets better, Ill use it more. Dont begin to tell me "command prompt this, command prompt that" cause computers dont use command prompts anymore. I dont see the common user using a command prompt to play text games like back in the dos days.
In conclusion, I got linux, and prefer windows. Linux is a wonderful server and has potential for a desktop, but it isnt there yet.
I agree with you completly. I use Linux for what it was meant to be origionally, a *SERVER*. It runs http/dns/mail, not KDE & Gnome. Which btw, KDE & Gnome need a MUCH LARGER software library. There are a lot of progs that you can find in windows and cant find an equiv for X.
Hrm, sounds like a personal problem. I have win2k on a 166 with 128 megs and while it does run a little slow, it works find as a file/web server with sql server.
Uhm, Windows ME is *WAY* better than 98SE. I don't know what kind of pipe you have, but on a cable modem the speed of transfer from, for example, a highspeed ftp is way faster. For ex, winamp downloaded at like 100k a sec with 98SE, but with ME it was easily 250k+ and that is just one example, there are more. WIN ME is a HUGE improvment from 98SE.
Hey, it can't be that bad, I'm sure there are as many bugs in *BUILD* versions of KDE and Gnome. However, I will agree, the final product will prolly have some disturbing exploits.
I dunno about anyone else, but if I were going to plot something that would attract the FBI's attention, I certainly wouldn't use email. I'd use some sort of peer to peer communication, perhaps a home made encrypted protocol between the other person and my self.

HAHAHAAHA, Spaceballs!! Great movie!

Hrm, Tools->Folder Options, Set the way you want it to look and finally click 'Like Current Folder' in the folder views!
PRIASE THE LORD!

Look at a basic install of Slack or RedHat, right around a gig for the stuff you will need to use. No real difference.

Ok then, I'll find some good encryption modules from some security expert for my anti-FBI communication program. :)

Just my $0.02.
