It's time for the world to port all applications to Linux.

Well E. I just found another bussiness based on Linux that I like.

www.cheapbyte.com, I ordered a redhat 5.2 as my original from Redhat was sequested inside a black room. A story of dumb protocol.

Anyway. I'm composing this response to you on Display obleak:0.0, a Sw1600. I'm in one of 6 open browser windows on desk 3 of 12 virtual 1600x1024 desktops. Yes there is an obleak:0.1 which is another sw1600 with it's own 12, 1600x1024 virtual desktops.

This system obleak happens to be running slackware linux that I just installed today from a Slackware 3.6 CD I purchased from www.cheapbytes.com for 1.99. Yes that's a 1.99, hey after you buy 2 SW1600's, all you have left is a buck 99. :-)

Tom Watsonn tosiwme.

PS E. in the concept of making money. I am still very long and very high on Nine. I seem to be one of the few who contributes to the Nine thread. I've posted some thoughts from a yahooer that describes Nine's situation well. Applix is still for me a Linux benefiting company. But Applix will benefit indirectly as a unix company and less so directly as a seller of a good office suite for Linux.

Oh and with 4 hours of slackware use, I may be leaning to switching to slackware. One negative is that slackware does not install the Redhat Package Manager. Hopefully this is not a big problem to fix.
