Look at it this way - if your job is on the line because you drive a Ford and the Ford keeps choking and puking, and then you find out that Ford might be out of business soon, are you going to continue to drive the Ford, or are you going to buy a Honda that you KNOW is more reliable instead? Overall, sure, it's nice to be DEDICATED to a particular distribution of linux, but c'mon - the guys working on linux overall - don't slight him for his preference. I have MY preferences - and strong opinions to back my preferences up - but I'm not going to slight anyone for using say, Suse or Debian...everyone has their own cuppa tea...so it's useless for anyone to digress into slamming anyone... Developers do quite a bit of work - heaps of work in fact - and they deserve stability - it's a pain to write code on a machine that isn't performing to your specifications or needs... At least the guy didn't say he's not going to write code for PHP excluding Mandrake, did he? Nah...so that's a good thing! Peace! (And I drive a Honda - and I was born in Detroit - so as far as loyalty to a product goes, I've just slighted Ford, Chevy/GM and Chrysler, didn't I?) -- Mon Jan 20 17:25:01 EST 2003 5:25pm up 4 days, 3:08, 6 users, load average: 0.02, 0.05, 0.13 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Absence makes the heart grow frantic.
