Absolutely. I tried several times over the last ten years or so to switch from MS to Linux... Tried Debian, RH, Mandrake, and Slackware ... and now Debian again as of Christmas break (Wasn't going to try a system install in the middle of a term of engineering!) With all my previous attempts, there were critical things I couln't get working, so I always ended up going reluctantly back to Windoze... This time, I've learned enough (and learned how to learn more) to get my system running quite happily. Now I'm feeling the rush of power. My computer *wants* to be a server. It's just begging me to get a domain name... get bogofilter and an IMAP server working and start giving clean e-mail accounts to my friends... And then there's Apache... Ahh, freedom! My computer actively wants me to do whatever I want. Yep, Linux rocks alright, and particularly Debian rocks. > Now, when I signed onto this list the only digest option I could see > was read-only...Was I mistaken?

Heck, you don't need to be subscribed at all in order to post. It might be a little clunky to *reply* to a message in a digest... (having to slice out the message you want, override the subject header so it refers to the specific message instead of the digest itself...) BTW, it is *strongly* recommended to set your MUA to break your lines at a reasonable length (72 columns is standard). It's considered good manners, as it makes it a lot easier to read and quote your messages. -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. > -ScruLoose- | Check out the coolest radio station ever: < > Please do not | www.radioparadise.com < > reply off-list. | < `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
