Thanks. I did not know Linux had achieved monopoly status. Anyway, the Linux ecosystem is not owned and/or sold by any one entity - therefore, IMO Linux and monopoly are antithesis. No one is compelling anyone to use Linux. This is a Linux list so naturally there will be a ra-ra for Linux. You are free to choose MS Windows, the *BSD variants, Mac OS X, OpenSolaris - but Hurd? Is FSF using it on their production machines? -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
