Techies LOVE it! Some, like me, are here because they dislike the company and its behavior. Others, again like me, see a more stable OS. I, and others, see an OS that protects my privacy and is much more secure. And don't forget all that marvelous software! I can see quite a few reasons why people are here, even if it's not as good in the 'just works' realm. RJH> Don't want, Don't need, no use for, a Linux clone of Windows... I don't want a clone of Windows either. I want linux to 'just work', with the non-clone features I mentioned above, hopefully with less tinkering [sorry to offend you tinkerers :-)]. -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
