Re: [OT] Recent increases in d-u posts?



Well, don't laugh too hard.

It was the Red Hat 7.0 upgrade, its decidedly unnecessary expense and the vocal presence in our company of several Debian advocates (Debian dweebs?) (sorry) that made me start taking a serious look at Debian.

    Damon,

I think it's the redhat upgrade to 7.0! heeheehee.

Also, it could be that so many books are hitting the shelves about linux
and linux+pure=debian.

Linux in school is also exposing this distro to the next generation.

Microsoft STILL wants money for that thingy they sell.

Gosh, this is without actually committing any real thought to the matter :)
