Yeah, admittedly the guy is trying to fill up his "Inbox". He says
"leave me alone" then immediately follows up the article with a poll.
Duh! At work, I try to fill in Linux into any available role. Right
now, I'm trying to get remote X sessions going. I'm still pushing for a
PostgreSQL back-end and I think it looks better if my Linux boxes show
up when developers use eXcursion to login to Solaris boxes. But, at
home I gave up on the Linux experiment. Just too much work and research
to do simple things like view AVIs and hear sound. I do develop on
Linux at home, though.
