[Am-info] New E-mail Worm Exploits SARS Anxiety

[mike]

Because Linux is not yet ready for the desktop.  I have a new=
 ASUS mainboard here and when Redhat Shrike is installed it=
 cannot find the network card (built in) .  After I looked at=
 what had to be done to simply install a network driver, again I=
 understood why Linux is still outa the ball park when compared=
 to Windows.  At least as far as the average user is concerned. =
 I feel Linux is at least three generations behind Windows when=
 being considered as a desktop client for the masses.  Unless=
 your company has dedicated IT people willing and ale to support=
 Linux desktops, it currently has a snowballs chance in hell to=
 replace Windows for the average user.

Sad but true.  I hope they can get it together, but so far it is=
 still a long way off....
