Great. I'll bet my copy of Office XP will run a lot faster on Linux, right?

Do the Linux companies now provide support for humans, or is it still RTFM?

I still run LILO and SILO on some of my servers.

But I'm real pleased with my 1 ghz 17" PowerBook

From a user perception point of view it appears as fast as my 3.0 Ghz XP Pro desktop.

When I run system on the XP Pro in the VPC running in my Mac it reports itself as a 1.8 Ghz 586.

Just get Root !

I don't consider shutting down 95% of the apps I use a "service" at all.
