Hi Vincent,

Why don't you use netscape?

I am using both linux and windows.  I think both OS have their place in the
market.  Windows are not going to go away for sure, just for the size of it.
Linux however will gain more market share even on home and desktop market.

Think about this:
I have a linux box serves as a gateway to internet, all my home pc on a private
LAN can share internet access; The linux box is also a file server for windows
applications, a printer serve. I can give my kids a acount and never worried
about them mess up the whole system. I can log their internet activities if I
want.  I can access my linux box, the faster one, from a slower one and kick off
a compiling job while kids are watching VCD on it, without noticing any pause
whatsoever.  All of these for free!  Well, I do admit that I have to spend
sometime to set it up, but well worth it.
Gosh, there must be a future for linux!
