What he said.  :)

And yes, I am implying that Roberto has little to add to the discussion.  This 
is not based only on the one simple header, but on past communications.

The recommendation by Roberto was also given without any explanation.  Is this 
advice based on hearsay?  Real world use?  Tarot cards?  Perhaps it is true 
what they say about the value of free advice.

Chris Merrill asked a question who's answer will have far reaching 
implications for him and  for his employer.  Passing on hearsay as an 
informed opinion isn't going to do him any favors.

If someone goes giving BS baseless advice on this forum, yeah, I'm going to 
call them on it.  If Roberto knows what he's talking about, he will have no 
problem backing up his statements.

And his choice of operating system is very relevant here.  Yes, many of us are 
forced to run Windows at $WORK.  I spend about 40% of my time in Windows 
there.  But this is not his work mail.  He's using Windows by choice, and his 
exposure to Linux is less than that of the person he is giving advice to.  
Was I rude?  That's certainly open for debate.  But Roberto's personal choice 
in OS, experience with Linux and experience with this specific problem are 
all very cogent to determining the value of his advice.

If you want to drag this out, please catch me in #trilug on irc.freenet.org 
rather than clutter the mailing list further.  I'm ready to defend my 
position.
