Thanks.  I think I speak for a lot of people, I went in, tried it, had some frustrations, worked them out and am giving Linux a fair shot.  I like what I see thus far, I just wish someone would have forewarned beforehand so I wouldn't have wasted most of a weekend chasing problems.

I went to a few Linux sites and posted questions and got one-word type answers.  I had gotten the opinion that most Linux guys were smug know-it-all prix.  Luckily, I found a few patient people here to help disprove that stereotype (particularly n3wbi3), otherwise I would have scrapped it and probably never gone back.

We'll see where this goes ... I think Linux people should pay attention because people like me are the ones they are trying to "convert".

Knock yourself out, but there's plenty of other bonafide US Unix products already as far as I'm concerned, and I won't be wasting any of my time with foreign born knockoffs being pushed on us by socialists. If you don't like Microsoft why not give Apple a try? Or if you want Unix on Intel, Sun is releasing a new version of Solaris with cutting edge technology you won't find in Linux. You can even download it for free if cost is a priority. Simply put there's no reason to promote GPL software or its founders that jeapordize the US software industry, with their lies about Linux capability and the shell games their vendors play on Wall Street. Have a good evening.
