Letting the chips far where they may, I quote Systemkennung Linux: >> There's no point in fighting Micro$haft... they can have the idiot section >> of the computer market.

You make a good point, but if all the world is idiots then nothing will ever work. The world cannot live on 95/NT -- serious networks need *NIX type systems as servers, routers, etc. I have yet to see anyone replace a Cisco router with 95 or NT -- and make it actually work. Ascend's latest creation, the Giga-Router 400/1600, runs BSD; but most of their magic is in the bus hardware -- proof positive given enough Xlinx processors, you can do anything.

Have you ever considered slipping a UPS into the power cord... live? :-)
