I submitted this to the list several weeks ago. There must be some backflush
of mail. I agree with you and have reworked some ideas along with seul/edu.
Thanks for your reply though.

Hi Jason,

Its a good little article, but who are you targeting?
Unless the person is already Linux savy I don't think
they will understand your examples.

Also the last paragraph I think should be reworked.  I
understand what you mean, but I don't think it reads
well.

Finally, the word imputing should probably be inputing.

PS -- I agree with you completely.  I also think the
availability of MANY different high quality free
compilers and the IDE CodeCrusader is also very useful.

Then of course there is Abiword, StarOffice, Gnumeric,
Remind, etc.

But expect resistance to change.

Bill
