X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2120


I am a Linux admin and an "evangelist" since 1995, that makes it 9 years
running now, managed thousands of Linux servers by now,


oh. another addition to "wow, what kind of folks are around here".

including my own
public shell boxen with over 600 nimrods living in it (do you know what it's
like?),


I try to understand you. I'm building my own small net here. (AS8596)
All linux. BTW, if you have time have a look into www.devil-linux.org - we
are using it on all different occassions. From a BGP4 router down to a
simple DSL router. I'd like to here your opinion on it.

and you know what? I fsckin' hate Linux on a desktop, complete with
all the clumsy user-hostile GUI's like Gnome or KDE, and all the stupid
barely functional office implementations like KOffice, OpenOffice and other


well, I like openoffice; I use it on M$ machines, mostly because there is
no need for M$ office.

pretentious garbage. Linux has no place on a desktop, it is not meant as a
"user-friendly" OS, it is a server platform, great one at that, and desktop
should be left to Microsoft because it's what they do best, and they should
stay the F out of the server market.


well, I use a MAC, at least in the office.

Just my humble five cents :-)


but give a real newsreader a try. :-)
