I chose Debian becuase I was tired of Windoews pissing me off by crashing and loosing my data. Some of the Windows applications are brilliant pieces of software, and simple and stable to use. Especially some of the email clients are. I miss them! I ran mutt for a month. It's not that I haven't tried. I am doing fine now with my "combo", but I do not see any reason why easy to use/configure software should not be available? My girlfirend wants Debian on her machine, but she says she doesnt have time for all those conf files she sees me editing all the time.
I have gotten off list mailings that suggest I reconsider using Linux since I feel like I do! I knew it was coming, and it did. Something never changes. I am just hoping that one change is was the availability of more great software on a great platform. I am not able to code, but I am willing to pay! :) //////\\\\\\//////\\\\\\//////\\\\\\ Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux //////\\\\\\//////\\\\\\//////\\\\\\ "Clones are people two"
