I am getting in on this one late. I have been using and building computers for about 15 years. I used M$ for about eleven years and have been using Linux for 5 years. There was a year that I ran both M$ and Mandrake Linux. I have been running M$ free with Fedora Core for 4 years. I am currently on Fedora Core 5 and all my hardware just works, even my 14 year old HP LaserJet 5L printer. I have several boxes running in my home office and they all run on Linux. I don't have freezeups or crashes. I also don't boot very often. The other responses to your BS is the same things I would say but they already did. You are wrong in nearly everything you said. I find your claims to be in contradiction to the truth. I hope the OP did not listen your FUD and went to Linux. -- Jack Gates http://www.morningstarcom.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
