Since I agree with Clarence, I decided to reply to some of the things
as well.

The long file names in Linux with the attribute for "executeable"
or not is ok.

I tried doing mail, browsing, and wordprocessing. Dont know how
to use spreadsheets. I did this in an Atari ST, DOS, Windows,
and Linux. After awhile, I gave up and returned to DOS.
Linux is too heavy for me. Maybe i'm stupid. :)
(yet somehow not stupid enough to comply with Windows. And I dont
hate it because "everybody hate". I started to hate it around version
3.0, and I was surrounded with windows-only users who just -loved- it.)
Now, steven, i'm not talking about you, but this is about what I
hear from linux users in general.
I seem to have a problem with the attitude of most of the linux users,
since when I talk with them, in their point of view I either love Linux,
or I love Windows. There is no other option. If I love DOS, I should
switch
to linux and love it. Why isnt there room for using other OSs?
