nowhere. but i have a feeling microsoft will find or fabricate some loophole or fix it so that only those systems with MS cruftware are given support. no redhat for the kiddies. and if the redhat offer is considered (see seth's earlier post...), there is absolutely no way MS will settle, and this will drag on for the next <insert favorite number> years. not that i'm in favor of the settlement... of course, the longer this drags on, the less people trust MS (or the less people trust the government. either way, it's win-win in my opinion...) > Seems like a smart way to infect the young minds and keep the monopoly > in check. agreed. i'm just too cynical to hope for it. :| but i really liked the redhat proposal. i think it's in the school's best interests because locking out certain software and priveledges is much easier in *nix than MS. and, of course, the benefits of free software. y'all gnu that, tho. > -Rob -- Justin Bengtson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) euglug = v+ e- eug++ bsd? gnu++ s++ "I called some kid "b" the other day.
