RE: new to debian have questions
I use Outlook because I find it to be better than
any piece of shit MUA that I can run on Linux. I
happen to find Linux rather lacking when it comes
to the desktop arena and when I actually have to
do work instead of playing, I need something that
works. Windows NT (and Outlook, when it comes to
e-mail) happen to fit that bill quite well.
For my servers, yes, they're all running Debian.
On the desktop, though, I need *real* applications
that allow me to actually accomplish things.

Does it come as any surprise that this comes from someone that uses MS
Outlook as their MTA?
