Re: Linux on CNet (off topic)

quote:


goal is to see if I can get to the point where I can work for a continuous period of a
      month without: 

      major crashes 
      total insanity 
      having to memorize more than 500 pages of documentation 
      encountering a situation where I need to read a document written
      by one of my colleagues on Mac or Windows and can't or where
      something I send them can't be read by them

      If I can do that, I think I will declare the experiment a success. 

      Along the way, I want to: 

      surf the Web 
      compose and FTP Web documents 
      write word processing documents 
      read word processing documents 
      send and receive email (hopefully with a decent, open and [dare I hope?] scriptable email
      package 
      maybe write a few Java thingies to see how it all works 

      I will make Linux my day-to-day operating environment and only use
      Windows or Mac if and when I'm forced to. If that happens, I'll
      report it.
