I was giving my opinions.  Yes they come from real world use.

Yes and I just gave him a free consultation.   Whether he decides to 
take it or not is his perogative.  The point here being that you dont 
have to post anything with the header information trying to discredit 
anyone.  Im sure Chris has gotten many a message on this and Im sure he 
will make an educated decision, like anyone else he is free to e-mail me 
and i will give him a rundown of the features I like from SuSE and JDS 
and he can even make a better decision and the stars will be aligned and 
the universe in balance for him.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.  if you think I give 
baseless advice then maybe you should look at your own posts.

The benefits of both systems are too long to list here.  If he wishes to 
get a clarification he but e-mail me.

Actually i am on a work machine, Laptop and outlook is monitored and 
cataloged so i do use netscape mail for personal correspondence and I do 
have permission to do so much.

Windows is not my personal choice in OS.  My personal favorite is 
Solaris, but I do use Linux quite a bit, not to mention one of my 
websites is a Linux information page to where i have a lot of 
information on it.  just like ihave a smaller site dedicated to 
Windows.  i dont care i help many people on many different platforms 
with problems and I do it happily.

My correspondence with you are done because:

A) I dont care about what you think
B) I dont like your attitude, never have and never will.
C)  I have better things to do with my time
