One of the best quotes that I ever heard about the old macintosh os's (os 6-7ish) was basically "Mac OS, It's not an operating system, It's a religion." and if the mac fanatics can have a religion why shouldn't the *nix freaks? Personally, I think that a lot of lugs and other similar linux organizations have a bit of a cult mantality to them. Not that its a bad thing... ~~~ Jim Beard counterclaim Chief Engineer 1551 Oak St. Suite D Eugene, OR 97401 Voice # 541.484.9235 Fax # 541.484.9193 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Edward Craig Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 12:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [EUG-LUG:1076] Re: linux distro questions On Thu, 17 May 2001, Cory Petkovsek wrote: > Note: *nix != spirituality So I should discount that rise I get out of figuring out how to tell the computer hoe to do what I want.
