Default OT Linux

rant

Not clear to me at all. The only thing linux is missing is acceptance
and the following application/driver base. The only time I have
problems with linux, compared to windows, is finding drivers for
whatever hardware I'm adding because most vendors don't include linux
drivers. Other than that linux is just as functional and quite a bit
more stable than windows.

On the other hand, if M$ gets their way with digital rights management
they'll be able to log into your machine and erase files, legally, and
without any recourse by you. And then they can complete their monopoly
by preventing any other software not written by them to read any files
generated by any of their products. I'd much rather try Sam's stuff.

I love Unix and have since 1970. Linux isn't there yet (NeXT was! and was
10 years ahead of its time). DK

Linux is not ready for prime time as a desktop OS. Clearly.
