I'd have to agree and, whilst it wasn't my intention to flag-wave for Linux (my initial intention was to make a point about language but I then got carried away, as you do at 6pm, waiting for the rain to clear so you can dash to your car without getting wet ... for the record, it started raining again the moment I was halfway between the building and my car) I could see how my posts could have been seen in that light ... FWIW my Libretto dual boots 98SE and RH6.2 using an NT bootloader ;-) >It is a fact of life: every Libretto sold comes with Microsoft OS. Actually there was a place selling Librettos pre-installed with other operating systems (I think Palmax went through a stage of selling modified touchscreen Librettos with Linux on them) ... but that's just being pedantic ... I see your point. >I would stronly prefer that another list be formed, for Libretto-linux >discussions. I cannot tell you how fast my eyes glaze over when I hear >people endlessly asking how to build their OS for every piece of hardware >imaginable, even the original floppy. I could make a similar argument about there should be another list to be formed for, say, people using GPS's with Librettos given that most of the list members here won't use their Librettos for moving-map purposes ... I don't honestly think there'll be enough traffic regarding Linux specifically on the Libretto to justify another list for it. As for asking about things like that, given the insufficient amount of traffic, why wouldn't this list be a good place to ask it, along with Hello Kitty and Pikachu laptops? ;-) >Don't tell me how great Linux is, I >just don't get it. Heh you either get it or you don't. Then again I only sorta get it. Hmm ... whatever, I'm getting a headache ... hehe - Raymond P.S.
