Have you not learned more about computers using Gnome at home than you
have with NTs no choice system?

If they are better why not choose?

Freebsd, Linux lead the way in the use of computing standards, MS and
Mac lead to proprietary lock in and file formats that only their users
can open when they pay the price for upgrades, upgrades that only add
bloat.

So why promote the use of systems that puts the customer second and
profit first?

Thank leaders like Paul who pave the way, please don't knock them for
putting out the extra effort the rest of us are to lazy to do.
