Absolutely correct. But that only reinforces my point -- even though they
need Linux and use it. They still keep DOS around. Why? Obviously 
because it still has its merits.

But I didn't claim that, I claimed the opposite -- that most DOS
users are Linux users.

Anyway, I'm now retiring from work on Arachne and it's long past time
I took another stab at Linux or BSD. What would you recomend?
Debian or Ubuntu sound good to me. I've also liked what I hear 
about Slackware. Then there's BSD ... 

I like things simple, functional, reliable, understandable and 
*very* well documented. I've heard that the documentation with
Gentoo is fantastic. Glitz, pizzazz and whoop-de-doo showmanship
I don't want. And I tend to like to do things in the most 
direct way even if it's superficialy a bit more difficult.
