I have found the *nux users in general to be a different breed than windoze
uses. Nux users are used to tearing into something, compiling everything
they can get their hands on, and learning from within, and of course RTFM.
This is a substantial difference from windoze users who in general just
want it to work, and don't care to know why or don't want to set it up.
just let it work. Of course, true Batters get more involved than that, as
they like to tinker within TB! and all its powerful features. I think that
once TB! was turned loose in Linux, very few people in comparison would
need help, as *nux people as accustomed to getting what they need by
themselves. ..... If you build it, they will come.

Let's hope for the best (and that the boys have read this thread <g>)
