IMHO...
Sorry I have to agree somewhat with Sam...after all, before Linux had a usable
GUI...the only other choice of a workable OS WAS what ever flavor of
Microshaft Windows was current. The Win 3.X and Win 9.X have been the staple
of mainstream PC user's for many years... BUT Win NT flavours have really ONLY
been for Office/Network environs. Yes NT/2000 may be more stable than Win 9X
but, also very $$ to keep current. As for me...I have played around with just
about every version of Windows...from 2.X to 9.x, and a few NT versions, ALSO
OS2/Warp, and now Linux. For all the bellyaching about M$ being a "virus",
Bloatware, or whatever else you may call it...alot of you _STILL_ use Win9X on
a dual boot...best bang for the buck....hands down Linux, support/help
available...Linux again. Anyway enuff ranting from me...just my 2 cents
worth....:)
