But I don't want to get serious about multi platform support (although
having Linux on our Sun workstation rather than Solaris would be nice). I
like my Pentium III 600MHz at work, and my Pentium III 1GHz at home, and I'm
very happy with Red Hat. Maybe that makes me a "poseur attracted by hype who
doesn't know any better". So it goes. Hi Ho.

Now that's a comment with which I can identify! If I had a dollar for every
time tomsrtbt saved my computing butt . . . :-)
