For years I lusted for a *perfect* operating system. So I bought
Winblows, only to discover that 90% of the "PC compatable software"
caused my machine to crash, lock up and puke blue screens. 

Then I started hearing whispers about a new OS called Linux. " It's
stable," they said. "It'll run for years," they decried. 

I listened, I read and a kind of limited understanding settled in my
soul. Linux isn't integrated - it's composed of modules. If a module
doesn't work correctly I have a couple of options. I can download a new
version or fix it.   

I have Mandrake; I'm happily stable and looking forward to the day I can
contribute something back to the community besides html. 

One of the reasons I like and prefer this group is the level of
civility. Polite questions always garner a polite answer.
