It may be my imagination (because I am biased strongly in favour of *nix), but it seems to me that Linux, and BSD to a lesser extent, are slowly and steadily gaining ground. Although I have never used it myself, Ubuntu seems to have been the most recent tipping point. Just yesterday while scanning through a MicroCenter (local U.S. chain of computer stores), I noticed laptops offering either Vista or Ubuntu, with Ubuntu being several hundred dollars less, for the same machine. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ . ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
