Sorry, but in my current business Those other mispelled and unheard of software packages, (that I am sure also have bugs) will not handle my aps.

Really?

What apps are those?

I can run Micrsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Outlook and Internet Explorer. I can run QuickBooks. I can run Photoshop for Windows. I can run VB-created apps.

And I only use Linux.

If you've had a transition expert come in and he's determined that your apps will not run under Linux, then fine.

Otherwise you are speaking of things of which you have no knowledge.

I be software engineer. I be having worked for big international software company, I had been subject matter expert. I be able to read and write.

My very simple DSL internet connection does not use junkware.

Right on Knitebane. Don't forget to mention that Linux is virtully virus immune and when there is a flaw Novel, or whoevers version it is, fixes it quickly. As far as browsers go, I use netscape and save a lot of problems for myself when it comes to spyware and viruses. Just my 2cents...
