Re Speaking of Linux

[Patricia M Godfrey pmgodfrey@xxxxxxxx]

Like Bob Molyneux, I refuse to EVER go with XP. And while I'll take
Robert's word that 2k is--at last--stable and runs Xy and all, MS should
have GIVEN it to all us poor slobs who endured five--no, eight--years of
buggy, flaky, unstable 9x. We won't even mention MEss.

I'm sure I recall seeing some members of this list mentioning having
gotten Xy going on Macs (under VPC--pre Microsoft) and Linux. Try
XySearch, as I shall once I'm ready to make the switch. I got a CD of
Koppix at the last NYPC meeting and found to my delight that Linux will
run on this Mobo. (The manufacturer said it wouldn't. But all too often
that just means, "Don't expect us to answer your questions.")

MicroSludge--Robert, IIRC, YOU were the one who coined that "epithet the
reverse of complimentary." OK, maybe I do overuse it.
