    True , I leave one of my boxes on due to the boot up time , and no there is
    not a quick shutdown I just shutdown and leave the room it shuts down on
    its own.

    I think micro$oft should be very embaresed at how good linux is and the
    killer punch is cost .I can have more software than I need for less than
    one copy of windows and can install it on all my machines legally.

    I need office software dvd software and network software the ones in linux
    more than meet my needs .I have office 97 on my works laptop Open office is
    better ,I don't use office XP so I cant compare .If I was Bill Gates and
    Oof was as good, some of my programmers would be un-employed

    I am a Data network engineer so use the command line a lot .The tools I
    require ie host dig whois come as standard in linux and are not extras.

    The windows command line has not improved since DOS ,I run XP at work but
    have a linux box to use connected to the Internet .I do use windows to
    connect to the routers though but this uses the cisco command line
    interface .
