I've been following this thread and, at the risk of turning it totally out into astroland, I would tentatively suggest that anyone that can get access to a new Mac running OS 10.1 (which is essentially free BSD) loaded up with applications, and poke around with it for a while. When KDE on Linux runs like the new Macs, the Windoze refuge conversion problem will disappear. -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'd rather be sailing" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
