IMHO, different distributions offer freedom of choice, a big plus for the Linux crowd when compared to M$. We sometimes caught up by the greed fo the closed source world and forget that different means choices. This is what promotes true competition. Only those companies who fear true competition (M$) would think that these differences are positive. Those distros who do not get purchased will fail and preferred distos will prosper. I just got finished reading Linus' book "Just for Fun" (can you tell????) I recommend it higly. Rob On Thursday 28 June 2001 00:16, Jose M.
