M$ practically owns the government in ANY countr, which is why they can "Buy" their way out of being disolved and it p*sses me off!


I think I can buy a "Naked box" easily from a company like Antec, buy my own HDD, a Soundcard, and whatever else I need, and then install Linux.


The dilemea though is finding a way to get "Linux" onto the "Naked box" without DLing it onto my PC first and wiping it out, if I want Linux to be usable on "ONE" Machine, Windoze left intact on another and look for a "Mac" eventuall for comparison's, I need to get 'nux without Installing it on the Windoze PC.

I want to be able to install Linux on a "BareBones Box" and go from there, I'd keep my Windows PC for gaming, but I dont want to Partition my HDD to run 'nux and Windoze on the same machine.

Also, you said Linux DIND't work with Dial-up modems, right?

What if I want to use a 56k INternal modem that's not some crappy winmodem, more like a US Robotics Modem if I decided to do that until I coul get my "Cable" Modemto run, which I'm not sure how I'd do, since the Software is Windoze and Mac only.

I'm aware of Ell's dillemma from M$, the usedto advertise "Workstations and Serves featuring Linux" as did IBM and then they both stopped, M$ took their knife out and tried to kill 'em. I wish Those companies had a few more balls to tell M$ to "shove it where the sun don't shine", because M$ might lose some ground then.

If you're buying a new PC, avoid XP, get Linux or a Mac if you don't like to program. I personally enjoy porogramming except using the Language "MICROSOFT Visual Basic", which is as @ss-backwards as the Winblows OS.

Also, Alienware is even having trouble with M$ and WinXP, users are returning machines because M$ can't even send "Valid" Lisence Keys for WinXP and their crappy servers are screwing up XP systems, I can't wait until someone tries to re-activate WinBlows XP and it dosen't work, 6 upgrades and it shuts down.

When Office XP shuts down on me, I'm going to be screaming obesnities at theM$ technican giving them death threats, maybe they'll lose some customers when theri sh*t starts to fall apart during use, I'l be laughing it up when that happens.
