I noticed that applix stock appreciation started as soon as corel went past the 25% increase today (up 40% now). My point is you argue your head off about the abc's of the innerworkings of linux, which is all fine and dandy, but the market doesn't really give a cr*p. Maybe at some point it will. Applix's price has steadily gone down since the middle of december, regardless of how good their underlying finiacial house is (according to you) and their business plan. Of course corel, too, has been cut down in half since december, after a far more spectacular runup, but in the mean time, many more eyes are on corel then on applix regardless of the underlying underpinnings. This is the market and the market always wins. Olga

Ya know Scott. On thinking more about that debian.org link.. Debian is not a just a Linux distribution, Debian is a religion. The the packages of unstable distribution is standard this is the mud people smear to discourage the faithful from finding out the truth. From now on I am going to preach an anti Debian avoid the fanactics message. I always was uncomfortable when I spoke to Debian folks at shows with their defensive put down talk of other distributions. But the clear propaganda message of their official site has informed me of who the Linux, hmmmm... maybe Nazi's is to strong. I'll have to think on that. The beauty of Open Source is about competing in the marketplace on merit. Debian wants to compete in the traditional muck style. Tom Watson tosiwmee
