Don't you mean Stalmanists? I'm here because of free software and what it allows me to do.
On another note, someone promised me that if I tried Win 2000 I would never go back to linux. He just didn't get it...
Starband is funded largely by M$. I had contacted them seeking Docs to write a Linux driver and they told me that they were instructed to specificly not allow a Linux driver to be written.
"If unsure (of your market dominance) just say no."
Dagnabit... I just looked at the Gilat main page and saw this.

Gilat Announces Filing of
StarBand Registration
Statement (11, Oct 00)
---- This means little or no hope of getting this service to users of linux. Gilat was hevily funded by Microsoft and hence are anti open source. I know, I checked.
Argh...
Unless I am mistaken the hardware StarBand uses is made by a company called Gilat They are funded by Microsoft and when I was seeking docs from them to write a driver they told me that company policy is unfriendly to anything non-Windows. Now this is all assuming that it is running on the Gilat hardware. I hope it isn't.
You do what I am trying to do. Find some way to a) do what is already being done only better, or b) come up with something so new and wonderful that (assuming good business sense) will allow you to makemoney and waves in the marketplace. And just remember to hit with a splash and not a thud.
BTW: I personally am a recent graduate from high school. It is my belief that personal experience isn't a key factor, trusting those that have it is.
