That is where people have misunderstood the system, IMO. We just jokingly call it "PEBKAC" [1]. One cannot compare apples and oranges. There is no source for Windows either. So, you can never compare the two. These are not *alternatives* to other systems. These are priceless when you have the source code. People first need to accept that the system is different, and instead of fighting with the system, they simply need to use it to see why it is designed the way it is, rather than trying to *emulate* experiences from other systems. This is an interesting read: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm SK [1] PEBKAC. Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com
