What irritated me more than the discussion of what Linux didn't have 
that Windows did have was what appeared to be gratuitous gay and 
liberal baiting.  Whether Linux (or Mac or Solaris) can do everything 
that Windows can do has nothing to do with that, in my opinion.

I used Linux from RedHat 4.1 (which Chris Fearnley helped me install) 
to RedHat 9 (which I bought the cheapest service contract for since I 
thought RedHat deserved some of my money for all the use I'd made of 
it).  I'll probably build another machine in the case some day and use 
Linux again (Intel 166 processors with 96 MG of RAM are seriously 
underpowered these days).  I'd hate to think that I had to agree with 
everyone's politics here or they with mine to use the list for help and 
advice.
