You "had to install Kubuntu because 5 disks..." ...if you're installing, why would they gripe? How would they even know how many disks is enough, or too much, if they can't install their own machines? Isn't free "free" enough for these friends?? C'mon, you gotta do better than that. They'll either dnload it to the CD's, or dnload 1 CD and still dnload the rest, piece by piece, so it's a wash. Every time someone proselytizes Kubuntu on this list I keep seeing the scene where Jack Nicholson as the Joker, is on a parade float while Prince plays "You've Got The Look." Money is floating down out of the sky, pizza and beer is free. Everyone is deliriously ecstatic. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. You tell me what glorious advances they have contributed to the community, as RedHat has. Zilch, nada. Just a bunch of press, is all. I'll dance with who brung me, even if they piss me off from time to time. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
