The above was, admittedly, the sugar-free version, and not what I would *actually* say. I had presumed that the audience here would not need the usual sugar-coating. And it's no disservice to Linux to point out that the present operating system is deliberately insecure by design, an easy vector for a myriad of worms and viruses, not to mention the pluses Linux offers, right? But this is preaching to the choir. :Peter _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
