I was beginning to wonder the same thing. Speakup is one of my favorite lists. A lot of "fresh air" - none of that windows-only crap you see and hear everywhere else.:) Hey I discovered another great plus for linux over that other OS. Several times recently I encountered a situation where the BIOS had trouble auto detecting a drive. When booting with DOS/windows, it simply hangs! when I boot with a linux boot disk, the machine comes up fine and it can read all available drives without incident. Linux doesn't need BIOS to read the drives apparently. I have a dual boot system here that only boots linux now:). I wonder how long I should wait to take that into the shop and fix the BIOS problem just so I can get into winblows! this actually might be a good test to see how long I can go without getting into winblows. But then again, I can cheat by using the windows environment at work to get into those java laced websites I need to, I guess.
