Actually, many people (me included) would argue that linux is easier to configure. All configuration files in linux are text files. All options are well commented. The ability to have comments right in the configuration file is great. In windows, you've got to search around n dialog boxes (for acceptable values of n), search through tabs, and figure out what weird terms mean. If windows doesn't start (even in safe mode), then there's no way you can reconfigure things. I've seen it happen. You don't have to be a linux guru to be able to configure, you just need to know where the configuration files are, and how to read them. If there aren't inline comments, it is very likely that the configuration file has a man page of its own. eg. man xinetd.conf -- "If you don't want your dog to have bad breath, do what I do: Pour a little Lavoris in the toilet." -- Comedian Jay Leno _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
