What you should have is a big fat link on your front page that reads "Using Linux? Wanna switch?" and a nice section on the differences a resular user would need to know. Me, I'd like to know if I can still use Gnome, XMMS, Mozilla and all the other things I've gotten used to. I'd never switch if I'd have to give any of them up. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
