the real reason is right in there - the idiot ignored the message you get
with every installer telling you to shut down all other programs before
continuing with the install.
if you think that guy would have got any further with linux you're living

It didn't. SuSe is becoming not only very popular here...but I'm seeing
it on store shelves all over the place.
I think the original logo (the goofy looking lizard) probably hindered
things at first. Yeah, it's irrational, but as any advertising exec
will tell you, most purchasing decisions are entirely irrational.
This is why most big companies have cost analysts review ever major
purchase before they get approved...so that a disinterested 3rd party
can look at things in black and white.

True.
In the US, cost of a gasoline vs the true (pre-tax) cost is 4:1
In Europe, it's much worse.... 20:1

Anybody who claims to have "proved" Global warming is a fraud.
We don't have nearly enough data to make any sort of pronouncements,
and it will take several CENTURIES, at the least, to even come close

Does your terminal program support X/Y/Zmodem? If so, check out the
rz and sz programs.
Yet another way, and faster, is to use parallel ports. Go to Best Buy
or CompUSA or the local equivalent and look for a "laplink cable"; I
got one for about US$11.
See the PLIP mini-HOWTO for instructions on setting this up. One
important thing the PLIP mini-HOWTO doesn't say is that the parallel
ports on both computers *must* be configured to use interrupts, both
in the hardware and at the parport_pc module. The plip module will
refuse to load on a port that uses polled I/O.
I tried this between my laptop and an old 386SX that I dragged out of
my closet (my main box doesn't have a free parallel port). I was
able to copy a large tarball over NFS at about 12000 bytes per second,
which can't hold a candle to Ethernet but is still faster than serial.
That's using a unidirectional port at the 386SX; if both computers have
bidirectional ports, PLIP may be even faster.
