I wonder how the new RedHat release that just came out will
affect Microsoft's NT sales?
http://www.redhat.com
This release seems to be the best release of Linux to ever hit
the streets. The easiest to install and upgrade, as well as the
easiest to configure. Linuxconf is a program that comes with it
(and came with 5.1 as well) that greatly simplifies Linux
configuration and usage. In my opinion, Linux configuration is
almost on par with Windows as far as having a frontend utility to
do configuration with, and WAY BEYOND windows in terms of actual
configuration of things WORKING.
A bonus of using Linux is that you rarely if ever need to reboot
the computer when making ANY configuration changes.
Anyone who hasn't tried out Linux yet that wants to do so, or to
at least investigate Linux, should point themselves over to:
http://www.redhat.com
http://www.kde.com
http://www.gnome.com
Also, anyone who decides to give RedHat a shot is more than
welcome to write me personally for help solving any issues you
may have.
Take care,
TTYL
