where is everyone,

[Steve Holmes]

I was beginning to wonder the same thing.  Speakup is one of my
favorite lists.  A lot of "fresh air" - none of that windows-only crap
you see and hear everywhere else.:)

Hey I discovered another great plus for linux over that other OS.
Several times recently I encountered a situation where the BIOS had
trouble auto detecting a drive.  When booting with DOS/windows, it
simply hangs! when I boot with a linux boot disk, the machine comes up
fine and it can read all available drives without incident.  Linux
doesn't need BIOS to read the drives apparently.  I have a dual boot
system here that only boots linux now:).  I wonder how long I should
wait to take that into the shop and fix the BIOS problem just so I can
get into winblows!  this actually might be a good test to see how long
I can go without getting into winblows.  But then again, I can cheat
by using the windows environment at work to get into those java laced
websites I need to, I guess.
