Wow that's cool - I've been running linux for some years too, and find that I
have to keep learning, as it is constantly being refined and updated.

I tried to raise my kids right, and today all the guys in this house run
linux, and all the girls use macs, so it's an all-unix house, and virus free!

Well, in my small community in central kentucky I have converted at
least 20 windows users to linux users in the last 2 years. I am
trying to get a lug started here and I think we are getting close to
being a reality now.

I have had a couple of meetings now with the superintendent of our
school system and I think we might get to experiment with a small
class at the middle school, maybe get them to use openoffice and a few
linux terminals. We have been looking at the k12ltsp software.

I don't think ms needs to be out of business, but if they lose enough
business maybe they will mend their ways and start making quality
software. I know you will probably say I am dreaming and I probably
am.
