Default not quite a gardening question !

The message .com
from "La Puce" contains these words:

Ruppert said and I quote "10/10 for perseverance. Can you now explain
to La puce the differences between Linux and Windows so she can tell
which one she is using (at work or home)".


So I replied Windows, not linux because it is another operating system,
non? ;o)


I said:

OE runs under Windows, yes.


And you said:

Or Linux I was told by the expert Ruppert!


So I replied:

You *MIGHT* be able to run it in Wine under Linux,
but that would be like cooking with Chateau Haut Brion 1970


I'm fixing my OE tomorrow. My IT boy's coming. Lucky me, I know ...


I thought you had a son in the house? And I thought that all childer
knew everything about well, er, everything.

But you still need to access the web. To do that you must use a computer
with an operating system.


I've got my own server Rusty. At work that is.


It doesn't work without an operating system though.

Well, I'd be looking for something a hell of a lot safer to use than OE...


Now he tells me!!! What should I use then?!?


Hmmm. Since you can't use ZIMACS, I'd suggest you look at Thunderbird,
which comes as part of Firefox - both free, and both, BTW, have Linux
versions for when you come over from the Enemy...
