Gentlemen (if the shoe fits, wear it),
It's been an interesting and most enlightening dicussion today regarding this
particular issue....
I have used various versions of Linux since 1996, when I was first exposed to it,
and this issue of portability and dependencies has always plagued it. I still use
it , and have been able to successfully use it thru the course of buisness , so there's
alot there to be thankful for ..( I've **NEVER** purchased a copy of windows) :)
People like those gathered here will be the ones to put the icing on the Penguin....so
let us not ever lose faith - but continue to push this into the next generation ...
On another note..
>Time and again I've found that the app I

----> Mr. Hamilton is not alone on this one, and neither is YDL or BSD or MANDRAKE ...etc..
perhaps what we really need is an RDM to go with the RPM .... (RedHat DEPENDANCY
Manager)
.... but correct me if I'm wrong here. - is this not the same protability issue, only occurring between
different versions instead of different systems >?
.. and really, does MS have the rights to ".net" ? (probly' as much as George Lucas has the rights to
the concept of space, right ?) ... next will they say it wasn't really Al Gore who invented the Internet,
but MS ?
........................ lost in space .... (sorry Mr. Lucas) .. and it's bed time, so I'll pick this up again tomorrow...
g'night all..
