i always thought we were trying to fight high-priced Unixes, not 
completely different operating systems.  a lot of us are stuck with Win95 
as the only way to get certain things done (word processing et al.)  and 
win95/MSWord is certainly cheaper than any Unix + Framemaker or whatever 
else.  (okay, maybe the win95 platform isn't as stable, but i'll take a 
little instability to save a lot of money :)

let's have a david & goliath thing.  linus can be standing with his 
slingshot over an AT&T (or Novell, or OSF, or whoever) with a big knot on 
his forehead.  (personally, though, i say keep the KO'd BSDaemon.  i hate 
the dumb look always on that thing's face :)
