Tony, that was a bit rough -- I get the joke about "coders in their parent's basements" in reference to Linux fans, but Solarwind is a college-bound young person who seems to be working hard to get to his goals. Even if he said he were in his parent's basement, he's doing more than most young folk I know these days... Anyway... I shared my thoughts about the Linux Desktop strictly from a pragmatic sense of sharing with him that after a while, you just tire of the minor "brokenness" of every release. Not to pick on him for his use of his time. -- Nate Duehr nate@natetech.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
