Yeah, but it looks _really_ promising. The embedded Python is a cool idea. Once it does threading as well as mutt, I'll look into it seriously. To make it easy for newbies to migrate, we replace their components one a time under Windows using a windows port of dpkg: Outlook Express -> Mahogany Word -> AbiWord Excel -> Gnumeric Command.com -> bash (or zsh) with the cygnus tools Photoshop -> Gimp IE -> Mozilla a lot of other programs exist for unix that look and function like their windows counterparts (like icq stuff, xmms, IglooFTP/gftp, et. al). and then the kicker: Explorer's UI -> LiteStep (Afterstep/WindowMaker for windows) Gradually, a little at a time, we get them used to it. Then, we replace the kernel. An experienced user helps them set it up, and they already know how to use the programs. Voila! We have a new Debian user! -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
