You have to understand that this is COLA and is filled to the brim with
what we call COLA-Nuts.
A COLA Nut is a person who spends far more time denigrating
Windows/Microsoft and it's users than it spends advocating Linux.
As a result of this weird and twisted behavior, you will see lines like
the "Poking head through XP firewall" as well as the now famous
OutLook "Begin Bug".
This kooks think this is funny, but in actuality it just makes them
look silly especially to new readers who are trying to learn about
linux but can't because Outlook gets hosed by the Begin Bug.

FWIW, Linonut's comment was just an opening remark, kind of like a tagline at
the start of the message. I doubt he was implying anything about you using
Windows.

The mantra of the COLA Nut Linux Zealot in action.

Acquire a copy of SuSE 9.2 Professional from a friend, user group etc.
It is perfectly legal to copy it.

You don't sound like a newbie to me which is why I didn't attempt to give you
detailed advice on topics that you already know.

COLA is full of them.
