non ms operating system users

["Doug Jenkins" <DJENKIN@nuskin.net>]

Sorry if this topic has already been covered but I'm new the the list.

Several of you have mentioned that you use linux or os/2 rather than win95 or any other ms operating system. I'd really like to know how you function. What apps do you run or do you simply play with the opsys? If you use standard apps (corel or ms office or any component of them, programming languages, databases, web development, etc.), how recent are the versions? Are they developed specifically for your opsys? Do you have a 2nd machine or dual boot machine that you secretly run win95 on and use to browse,
develop, word process, etc.? I have always been curious about running alternative operating systems but didn't ever believe I could function well on them. This is a sincere inquiry. I mean no insult to anyone. Thanks for any feedback.
