The main reason I mentioned it was to show another concrete example of how Linux is being taken seriously and supported by large companies like Yahoo.

I also think M$ will ultimately end up as a home entertainment appliance and media company. ===== John Hebert Official BRLUG Linux Curmudgeon Open Source Ankle Biter __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
