Just curious... the Linux version is rock solid! #1 - My unfamiliarity with Linux. Would you give a toddler a motor cycle or a big wheel? :-) #2 - I've heard the Linux version lacks a few things that Win32 Sysops are accustom to. #3 - You need to learn to walk before you can run :-) In the same way we don't send a kindergartener to attend high school, people need to start slow and simple and work their way up with any learning proccess. I can't just be hurled into the complex linux world from the mundaine Windows World. I need the training wheels on first :-) -- .---------------------------------------------------------------. | [TiME WaRRiOR] aka [Dave Kelso] AIM: Twar782 | +o Malkavia BBS | | www : synchsupport.net - malkaviabbs.com - xpresit.net | | www$: josephsjewelersonline.com - preferedinsurance.com | | @: time.warrior@malkaviabbs. com | \______________________________________________________________/ --- Synchronet 3.12a-Win32 NewsLink 1.76 * Malkavia - Chicago, IL - telnet://malkaviabbs.com --- Synchronet 3.13a-Win32 NewsLink 1.83 .
