OK. You can certainly get the other reading out of that statement, but it's an obscure interpretation whereas the interpretation that reads it as "installing LInux" is something we respond to all the time here. So, I'll withdraw my remark about percentage. I do still think it more appropriate to answer the common interpretation, not the rather arcane one that nobody every asks. I think we want to be more than just technically correct, I think we also want to be very clear. This is especially true because we have people here who are not native English speakers. jim grimsby writes: > 1.
