I asked you which political party in spain you align yourself with, not

vote for.

Of course you do.

Even if you don't admit it or you pretend you don't know, you

unwittingly do it.

Frank- what is wrong with you?

I guarantee you I am no communist, and on occasions have

been called a spoiled capitalist pig. My friend, Charlie Tame,

might have even thrown similar words at me before. But, I

do like Linux and I hope the Open Source community keeps

moving right along.

I debated about even replying to your post.... it's really not worthy

of any comment. You're really letting your true colors show and need

to know how ignorant you've started sounding.

I reckon you've always been like this, and expecting better from

you in your old age, is just too much for you to handle. That's a shame.

Installing Ubuntu 7.04 worked fine for me in a VM, the biggest problem I

had was that I couldn't run beryl in the VM, but that is to be expected.

I couldn't enable aero for Vista under a VM either. I had success

with all of this using VMware server.

Remote manage 10 domains - Policies for updates for 2000+ machines - Auto

install or deinstall software.

Local administration groups - Remote management - and this is just the

management part.

I'm not going to get into interoperability as it would be way over your

head. So I'm waiting for your answer to the above.

So you're finding it difficult to see an ideological connection between

atheism, communism and the free software connection?

Try harder...it's hiding in plain site.

Read your own post, unless you just make up everything you post and

don't actually believe in your own proclaimed linux cause.

Well, are you just fooling yourself or what?

Um, that's not "real work" that's managing computers. I suspect there

is a way when you consider how many large corporations and governments

use Linux. I do all my work with Ubuntu and it provides me with real

money. What do the operators of these computers do that Ubuntu can't do?

Can one send and receive email with Ubuntu? Yes.

Can one surf the web? Yes

Can one do spreadsheets, word docs., data base, web sites, Gimp, etc.? Yes.

Can one do IM with Ubuntu? Yes. VOIP? Yes.

Can one easily get a virus with Ubuntu? No. With Windows? Yes.

Can one easily get malware with Ubuntu? No. With Windows? Yes.

Is everything updated at once with Ubuntu? Yes. With Windows? No.

Does one have to constantly prove that one is not a pirate over and over

again with Ubuntu? No. With Windows Vista? You betcha.

I don't consider Linux a cause. I don't have any heroes. I simply like

it better than Windows.

I didn't prove anything. What is it about you Windows fan boys that
