Hey your 2 cents are welcome anytime (g).
Completely agree with << Personally, I'm cheering, as I'm tired of the cluttered, band-aided, crash and lock-up prone Win 98.>>. I hate 95 with a passion and have not gone with 98 because from what I can tell it
is not much better. About the Linux being free. Did you see in the article where DELL says it is free but we will charge 99bucks installation fee. Give me a break, what a bunch of crooks.

Earlie,

Also, RedHat was selling at OfficeMax with an O/Max rebate for the purchase price, in effect, making it free.

Also, was in Costco yesterday and they had pallets of RdHat Linux for sell - $37 or $39. With so many people pi$$ed at M/S problems,no doubt some will at least try it, and some will change.

Question - is linux a viable OS for the PC yet?? Or is it still generally for network servers??

Bill/WA
