Can we make Ubuntu fix Microsoft's split-horizon DNS bug, too? And the other ones? Shouldn't we should fork Mozilla to make it render more like IE? After all, IE is the standard, even though it's broken and non-conformant to CSS. That CSS-conformant rendering does more harm than good, too, doesn't it? Stop using .local for unicast, and everything works great. Microsoft's problem. NOT Ubuntu's. Not MacOS's. Not SUSE's. I like that [Ubuntu] Linux does things properly. By the by, does the default workgroup ~have~ to be MSHOME? And why does 'dd' default to decimal megs/gigs, not binary... Oh fine, I'll give it a rest. David L.
