As I've seen in other articles, they have it backwards. Current market dynamics will change to adapt to FLOSS, not the other way around. That is the nature of disruptive technologies, which co-dependant FLOSS and the Internet clearly are. "Domain controllers" are a Microsoft issue, not a FLOSS issue, and is a system that won't be used much longer as people move to open vendor-independant standards from legacy proprietary systems. --- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> Any 'hardware assist' for communications, whether it be eye-glasses, VCR's, or personal computers, must be under the control of the citizen and not a third party. -- http://www.flora.ca/russell/ -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
