Linux users are rare in a Country with tens of it.comp.linux hierarchies
?
Where exists a national magazine with tens of pages devoted to Linux
graphics,
shell, giava, C/C++ programming and a monthly CD-ROM with all
distributions, XFree86, source code etc. etc. ?
The Country of the authors of Linux's 'libgpm' and 'libmodem' libraries?
And of many contributors to the XFree86 Project and to the Linux kernel
development itself ?
Where the FTP archive of the CNR (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche)
and
all of their gateways are running under Linux?
Where literally hundreds of Internet Service Provider across the country
are running their jobs under Linux, the vast majority of them ?
Please don't joke! Regarding the Linux development and diffusion this is
one
of the best places (countries) in the world!
I strongly suspect that YOUR Linux's knowledge is very limited,
indeed...

Maybe nobody tell you before, but Billy is ruling anywhere in the world.
He is now working to a multimedia network using satellites so, in the
near future, he will be ruling outside the world also.

Your brain isn't improved at all in the meantime, unfortunately.

OK for the little knowledge of the BIG, but about the little knowledge
of the SMALL also: this list is spreading all over the world, I really
think that speaking A VANVERA here is regrettable.
Please don't joke! Regarding Linux development and diffusion this is one

Many excuses to all for this OT.
