Yes, this is completely correct :)  Personally I don't like Win4Lin 
but Linux is all about choice.  I shouldn't try to tell someone else 
what it is that they should do.

By the way, in answer to any question about the use of mobile Linux 
for e-mail and web pages...  I'm sending this to you with an SuSE 7.1 
system and an Ericsson T28S mobile phone using Irda with my Clevo 
notebook.  

It's too slow for web pages but for e-mail and fax it works fine :)

Thanks
