CA>CA>>>> I'll go out on a limb here and predict that KNOPPIX and
CA>CA>>>> other 'livecd' versions of Linux will kill off Linspire
CA>CA>>>> dead dead dead (and forgotten).

CA>TA> Maybe that is how and why Klaus Knopper managed to get the
CA>TA> Dutch courts to do what Gates couldn't get our USA courts
CA>TA> to do.

CA>I wasn't paying attention to legal finagling that was going on
CA>for awhile. I was aware of it but that's about all.

CA>TA> Anyway re printers; I was impressed that Knoppix could find
CA>TA> and drive my Lexmark 73 3 in 1 that I couldn't get my SuSE
CA>TA> 9.0 to do with or with out cups, etc..

CA>As I've said, printer manuf created this mess trying to
CA>out-smart their customers and be so very proprietary.

CA>TA> (Kinda like Krazy Krauts sticking togeather maybe ?-)

CA>Could be. I'm half German.
