1. Please trim your 'replies' and quote only the relevant.

2. And Sinck holds my feet to the fire for not warning...<rant> </rant> -
sheesh. ;-)

3. Isn't Mandrake a recompile of Redhat anyway?

4. While it's nice that raging against Microsoft sends people to linux -
it's the opensource community that keeps you or loses you. Best to
participate, share some efforts to help push the thing along. Linux isn't
the anti-Microsoft - it's a spirit.
