Scott I agree that a market exists if the desktop interface is useful and responsive. The suite for linux will always sell for less. I loaded the new Suite this weekend and I am very impressed. Why anyone wouldn't buy Wordperfect 2000 rather than microsoft and keep the extra couple of hundred bucks is beyond me. With the expanded compatibility there is virtually no discernable difference. I wonder if Novell is selling shares at $2 15/16 US. There just seems to be an endless supply at that price. Once we break through 3.00 we should hit 3 3/8 pretty quickly. All just my opinion of course. cheers frank

Scott, What gives with all the Red Hat bashing? news.com <snip> Linux founder Linus Torvalds is among the 25 members of the council. However, some prominent advocates of the open-source movement, such as Open Source Initiative founders Eric Raymond and Bruce Perens, are not. ------- <snip> Though Corel plans its own Linux distribution, the council includes top executives from other companies that sell the Unix-like operating systems, including chief executive Bob Young of Red Hat, chief executive Ransom Love of Caldera Systems, and Debian project secretary Darren Benham. The group also includes Linux International executive director and Compaq Computer employee John "Maddog" Hall, Zenguin president Scott McNeil, VA Linux Systems CEO Larry Augustin, Cygnus Solutions CEO Alex Daly, Gnome's Havoc Pennington, KDE's Cristian Tiberna, Wine's Alexandre Julliard, and the Linux Standard Base's Dan Quinlan. Also absent from the list is a representative from TurboLinux, another seller of the operating system.

Dear Scott, I've used linux for over 6 years. I've used most distributions. I've also used most commercial unixes. I've found that I always seem to come back to using Redhat. KDE is a dog of performance. Gnome may also be a dog. But for fast efficient and ergonomic. watman.com I also like to take a picture or 2000. All my photoes and web pages are created with Linux image processing tools. watman.com has links to my public photo galeries. Tom Watson tosiwmee
