What I'm interested to know now is: how much experience have you had with Linux? It's all very well having a highly experienced net admin run a Linux network smoothly, but highly experienced net admins like yourself are very tough to find...
MCSE helps close this gap, at least in the Windows world, by giving everyone a basic understanding of the architecture.
You're right about the pointless bitching. I picked up the habit reading people here complain about how Windows is unreliable and buggy. I don't use KDE or Gnome, nor do I know enough about UI design, to make constructive criticism. All I know is that it feels horrid to me, the user.
Win2K is as stable as a horse's house. I don't know what buggy unreliable behavior people have actually seen on this OS. Is this FUD, or did you have some specific problem with Win2K?
At least on the desktop. Who would run Gnome or KDE when they can have Aqua - a professionally designed UI which has undergone professional usability testing?
I still think Gnome and KDE lag far behind the Windows and Mac desktops. And the Mac desktop is - at last - going to leapfrog the Windows desktop in terms of stability and prettiness.
Mind you, Mac hardware is still awfully expensive for what it is, so unless Apple are going to port Mac OS X onto PCs there may still be some ray of hope.
Your use of the term "correct," to describe incorrect grammar, is interesting.
But you're right - it is just a matter of what you're used to. These stupid publishers with their rules of typographic layout - if only they had the common sense you do!
Pas en Anglais. C'est "Rendezvous". L'Anglais d'assimilatez les mots Francais. Embracez, extendez, extinguishez. C'est le motto de l'Anglais, n'est pas?

Perhaps you could give a coherent answer?

That's great! It's really what Gnome and KDE have been missing for the past few years.

A situation that's unlikely to change until there's some form of Linux certification. Businesses aren't run on the vaporware hopes of hackers.

I didn't use Babelfish. My post was a perfectly correct rendering of the little-known language Franglais.

Man, you know, I often wondered about that.
Unfortunately, since George Lucas ripped off all their ideas, if they made it then people would say it was a Star Wars rip-off.

Math teachers are wusses.
Well, you learn a new thing every day!
Comma goes inside quotations. Always.
Period goes inside quotations only if the entire sentence is in quotations. Otherwise, outside.
Semicolon goes outside quotations. Always.
This is from someone who actually lives in the country whose language you claim to be able to speak, *and* whose Dad is an English teacher.
So you're both wrong.
I must have missed that issue of Wired 6 years ago where they said something interesting.
Just checking these lame Linux servers are working OK.
