Once upon a time Georgiana S. Trigg shaped the electrons to say... >would say that perhaps Linux's popularity is because of it's GUI, but then Linux is a GUI? Since when? The only GUI I've ever seen on Linux is X - *if* I install it. I think Linux is popular because of the way it was developed, the history it has. It is a product of the community, for the community. And Linus' personality certainly has helped the popularity. And more and more vendors are jumping on the Linux bandwagon - while BSD/OS, and especially FreeBSD, aren't getting the same kind of vendor support. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Rosson ... and a UNIX user said ... The InSaNe One rm -rf * insane@oneinsane.net and all was null and void ------------------------------------------------------------------- It's so nice to be insane, nobody asks you to explain.
