How is this related to the installation, configuration, or use of Red Hat Linux 9 really baffles me though, Rob. Might I suggest you consider an alternate forum for political discussion. (Contact me off-list if you need some suggestions.)
Well, I enjoyed it Rob.
I say that until someone with an email address that has "@redhat.com" at the end of it speaks to what is "on topic" or not, then everything but personal nastiness ought to be allowed (and that's just called being polite).
