PowerHouse on LINUX

[Gates, Scott]

Saying "LINUX is a poor man's UNIX" implies that it is somehow inferior.
With very few exceptions, I have found that LINUX is as good
functionally and superior in ease of installation to Intel based
machines.  I think that is directly related to its low cost.  With more
'poor men' working on installing LINUX, it's been ported to a more
diverse hardware configurations than the "RICH" versions. Face it,
no-one's going to put a $5000 to $15000+ O/S on a Wal-Mart display model
special. LINUX is more like the 'inmates running the asylum'  Yes, we're
*crazy*, but we also live here so we know what needs done.
