About the earlier issue with posting the "information" on the "grand conspiracy". I've seen some replies by a few people that I have noticed are more in doubt of my credibility. It was a pretty large avalanche. Though, I do feel that checking your sources first is a darn good idea. Regardless, if I heard them verbally (by others comments) or a reputable source. > >>I hope that the improved file system helps rid MS of the "dirty DOS" >>reputation.

But then decided to try Redhat Linux and have not had trouble with thier setup, since the switch, to the Redhat verion. I believe that she said the same thing (Linux Rocks). It may not be the answer to everything. But it sure saves a lot of money, while still getting the job done. > To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: > http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp > > -- I don't mind what Congress does, as long as they don't do it in the streets and frighten the horses. -- Victor Hugo To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
