then don't. I have started my own business and so far so good, but I had a strong following of clients and I have strong integrity, so naturally, several of them gladly followed me. If you start without knowing in advance who your clients will be and whether or not they'll follow you, then I strongly recommend against it, though.
The BIG problem with Linux/UNIX config programs is that they aren't stateless. Programs that try to keep their own versions of all the config files (ahem... linuxconf) get all freaked out if you go in and change a file by hand the manly way (with vi, not emacs). Webmin (I think) does not try to do this, so it appears to work better. If someone were to write a NON-STATE-KEEPING tool then it has a much better chance of working nicely.
I have a very large customer (who will remain nameless for now) with over 200 stores nationwide that will be switching to Linux using IceWM as their window manager. It will be running their point of sale software. These are workstations, not servers.
RedHat and VARs vs. Caldera and VARs

Recently, the deal between Caldera and SCO was approved, so Caldera will soon start taking advantage of SCO's reseller channel and targeting businesses with their business oriented Linux offerings. The company I work for is a SCO Reseller, and a member of IXORG, a small network of UNIX-based VARs. SCO currently recognizes IXORG as a valuable asset to their corporation. Caldera does as well, and they listen to IXORG.
What is RedHat going to do, if anything, to establish a relationship with small VARs so that it can get a chance at making inroads into the already established UNIX-on-Intel installed-base? Are you going to target small and medium sized VARs or will RedHat do their usual unfortunate thing of overcharging the VARs just to be a "member?"
this assumes that va beach is guilty. if not, and they can't find everything, they'll be forced to pay twice for software. gm would never force someone to pay twice for a car. in america the burden of proof should still be on the accuser.
We all know what a farce the press is and their mistreatment of the word "Hacker," and their total misunderstanding of what hackers stand for. What is the best say, in your opinion, to change all of this to put the hacking community in the positive light that it deserves?
I can't say how many times I fantasized about getting rid of my enemies in high school. Never did anything about it, though. Slashdot is the FIRST place I have seen actually realize what the REAL problem (and possibly the real cause) is.

They work fine in mozilla to. This is all just shockwave junk.
