laf...ok, can't we all get along? The fact that Linux IMHO has an actual
chance of gaining some serious ground in 2003, is a marvelous thing.
Where is this going to leave everyone? Hmmm...ok...how open is it TRULY
going to stay. The corporate intitiys that are taking Linux there,
RedHat, and probaby the only project that has the ability to compete with
them on a corporate level, UnitedLinux, will surely become no better than
MS in their drive for profits so where does that leave me. <GRIN> Right
where I started with "UNIX LIKE" OS's...BSD of any sort. Don't get me
wrong, I'm pulling for Linux over MS, but I can still remember choosing
FreeBSD over Linux in 95 because Linux at that time didn't even bother to
shadow passwords, and besides, anything you can run on Linux, I can run on
FreeBSD.
