Interesting... probably has to do with the demographic difference between the Linux users circa 1990's and the Linux users of today. I moved to Linux with programming experience that began with GW BASIC in the 1980's, and spanned BASIC/VisualBasic and Borland C/C++ up to their current 1999 states. I think that the people moving to Linux in 1999 were more Developers and admini types, than average End Users. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ .
