Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
After reviewing what M$ plans to do to Vista, it has become evident that
when XP is no longer supported (or sooner if I'm able), I will be forced
into running a LINUX system just to get the tools I'll need to still use
the internet fully(Open Office, Sea Monkey, etc plus tools like GIMP).
As much as I love Arachne, and as loyal as I shall ever remain, I fear
it will be awhile before Flash, ActiveX and a few other (no longer)
bells and whistles will be fully supported by Arachne.
Although I have absolutely nothing I *must* do each day (other than
downloading the spam and searching therein for meaningful messages --
much like stirring up the entrails of a chicken to see the future) I'm
getting little I want to do done. Thus I have much spare time to learn
about Linux, and Linux itself (if you know what I mean, cuz I'm not sure
I do).
Therefore I come here to the forum of the adventurous and anti-doze
computer geeks, wizards (wink), and workers ... believing that at least
a few of you have experimented with Linux and some of those few may
actually be running it somewhere. <G>
I do want something a little less complex than Red Hat Server ... for
now. But I don't necessarily want something which hides everything like
'doze does ... i.e. I want to be able to exercise some control, without
having to *maintain* control constantly. Much like life in general, eh?
And since it is the season of seasons, this gives me a chance to say
happy and/or meaningful and/or entertaining and/or apocalyptic best
wishes to any and all who celebrate anything at all. };>
Please do not get into any arguments about which is best/worse/worthless
in/about Linux here in this forum ... wouldn't be fair, would be
impolite. Howsomever I would delight in private e's sent my way at the
e-dress above ... if I did it right, there may actually be a "Reply To"
working on this message (Arachne is much easier!!).
May you never ever run out of chocolate ...
