I'm not going to comment point-by-point to Ryan Ware's <rware at interplastic.com> post. This is just a general response to his post in context with focus of this list. Everyone is entitled to a rant now and then, even those that we don't generally agree with. Please, before anyone else hooks on to Ryan's troll, for that is really all his post amounted to, realize that he probably hasn't had enough caffeine for the day. I, for one, am NOT looking forward to the thread that Ryan is likely to generate, with people once again comparing and arguing point-by-point over the wide assumptions and broad-sweeping statements that Ryan has made. It is fairly obvious to all here what Ryan's opinion is, Linux isn't the solution for all problems. The counterpoint will be, but neither is Microsoft Exchange. There are people successfully deploying Linux in a wide diversity of commercial computing environments. Let's agree to disagree on this one. Now, let's see if we can't provide a little more constructive advise to our fellow Linux advocates on this Linux Users' Group email list... -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr
