Doug and Harry,

I certainly don't wish to step on anyone's toes. This just looked like a
terrific forum for what I was doing. Since I was going to do it anyway, I
figured why not share? Besides, Linux has done a lot for me - socially,
professionally, and recreationally. Besides, we all pay taxes and I want
mine going to improve education, not making corporate America richer. I
thank you for your encouragement and as this thing materializes into a
paper. I look forward to getting it hammered. I fight FUD fairly well, but
do not intend to address that in the paper. Perhaps as a sidebar, it can be
added later. I seem to be able to hold my own fairly well against other
proprietary OS's from Redmond and hope to continue to do so. I got Linux
into two technical schools and there is always room for more!
