[Ham-Computers] RE: "Live" Linux CD's, WAS: windows - linux

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I'm not picking on doc or Dale but their two posts finally turned on a light 
bulb relative to this whole Linux schtick.  Linux users only play with 
computers.  And make a living either not using computers at all or using non-Linux 
computers (look back through the archives and you will find hundreds of examples 
of the statement "I only use MS at work because I have to" or equivalent).  
They don't have to make a living either using or working on computers.  The 
only significant exception is the small group who supply Linux computers for the 
Linux users to play on.
