  ROFLMAO.

  So then Rich=20

  A) You would consider any vuln in anything carrying the "Windows" name =
to be a
  "Windows" vuln? So if there is a vuln in Win2K3S then I should also =
patch any
  Windows CE powered devices such as a smartphone or a PDA? This is your =
point
  wrt "linux" which also runs from a fully featured PC distrib down to a =
PDA & a
  smartphone.

  B) You are happy to consider "Windows" as simply the OS, shorn of =
anything that
  makes it usefull, such as 3'rd party drivers that come with the =
hardware & any
  other tools you might need. How many people do you know that find a =
"pure"
  install of just Windows usefull? No Office tools except WordPad. How =
do you
  watch DVD'es on say a Win98 "pure install"?

  So as per usual with you you want to define things both ways to suit =
yourself &
  I am simply responding in kind in the interests of balance.

  If the Windows OS w/o any other s/w e.g. office tools etc is what you =
count as
  "Windows" then I will count Linux w/o any other tools.=20

  & to pick a "distibution" to keep you happy I will pick=20

  http://www.coyotelinux.com/modules.php?name=3DProducts&op=3Dcoyote

  For security & mandrake for capability. That should be OK by you as =
that is
  what you choose to do & to which I am responding.
