I believe you miss the point of the entire Linux movement. Besides being a FREE operating system available to ALL people on a vast majority of hardware out there, this allows those of us who wish to expand our horizons a bit farther than Redmond, WA an opportunity to do so. I personally have Win95, WinNT, and OS/2 (several flavors) along with LINUX on my machine. I find that I can continue to learn something about both operating systems and applications while using LINUX. Something I can't always do on the others due to lack of source code, etc. I don't see anyone here espousing that this will take over the world, only that we enjoy doing this and we will promote it to anyone who will give us a bit of bandwidth. I support the other COMMERCIALLY available operating platforms at work and find LINUX to be just the ticket when I wish to challenge myself in my spare time. NT probably will crush UNIX due to the sheer volume of MS users out there and the vast resources of Mr. Gates. (And yes, I'm only upset with him because I didn't think of it first. :-) ). If you don't feel the need to participate with us on this project, don't. However, cut everyone here some slack and don't waste our precious time with your rantings.
