Re: Begins here:
This is the one thing I've never really understood about this list...Aren't
you "preaching to the choir" on this subject? Are there really that many
people subscribing to this list not using Linux in some form (distro) or
another. I personally have two machines running RH 6.2 ("clean" meaning
absouletly no Windoze at all or dual booting involved) and only use this
list to ask questions and acquire knowledge on it's use. Forgive my
ignorance,  but are there really people here that don't have, use, or have
ever seen linux in action?
