Re: [OT] Comments?
heh...within minutes, I was given the following search link:
http://www.google.com/search?q=linuxmyths&sourceid=mozilla-search
which dumped many pages, one of which is:
http://fud-counter.nl.linux.org/tech/LinuxMyths.html
Which seems to do the best job so far. But it's still from November 1999. Rough
estimate: In the past year Linux has improved leaps and bounds above NT4 in all
respects, except maybe device support, which tends to rely on companies
providing information on their hardware...but that's OK. Am I right?
I guess you can ignore my question as it's been answered before. Seems I need to
remember the phrase "Search before you post". Any other thoughts now that I've
asked?
