No, I am there with you. Linux != !Microsoft. I do like anything open source, so BSD isn't bad. Apple (yeah, it's based on BSD) doesn't give much back to the community and I wouldn't group it with Linux or Open Source stuff in general. I have also been accused of being and Apple hater on many occasions though. > > On Nov 2, 6:09 pm, "Michael Stahnke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> At last month's meeting, I know we suggested having some home >> automation topics for Nov 11 meeting.
