CA>why bother with it?

It appears to be a laymans WORKING LINUX system. NOT having to have a

And overall it can be Cheeper then an equilivent MS computer setup and
gives you the satisfacyion of NOT lining the Tyrants Pocket.
I find it sad that it is not catching on faster. But then the MS

met his personnaly I used to read his columns in a local free Computer

match the PR dollar budget of Microsoft.
