I respect your opinion, but the cool thing of Linux for me, and lots of people, is that it is UNIX, and UNIX has proved to be well designed, and a joy to use to those who appreciate it (no, I am not talking Joe Random Desktop User). > I'm interested in Linux especially BECOUSE IS FREE, so I NOT PAY for it and > I can accept to lost lots of time play with it: it's my choice. Now I know > Linux it well, so I spend less time than others... Again, this is your choice, but consider that this reason is not why it is developed. So, if you complain to developers, remember that they are not writing it to make available a non-payed operating system. Anyone of them may have it�s reasons, but I can garantee that price is not the main motive. > But, well, when I have to do serious job and not only surf the net or > impress my girlfriend or friends :-))))), I need a REAL OS and Windows > NT/2000/XP do the job. Obviously I pay for it, and I have the best. If your serious job does not require a real operating system (like UNIX), that�s fine. The concept of real operating system is vague (if your doing video processing, MacOS may be a real operating system,and UNIX a joke, but if you are talking about serving, MacOS may be a joke (not considering MacOS X, of course). So please don�t try to categorize like that. If you like MS OSes, thats fine, but don�t call Linux "amateur". Although it is many times "amateur" (from "love") it is considered professional by many people/companies (like IBM, Microsoft, SGI, etc). -- Roberto Jung Drebes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Porto Alegre, RS - Brasil http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~drebes/ _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
