[TriLUG] Man is TriLUG quiet these days.

[Jon Carnes]

... Aside from the whole lunch thing...

We've finally accepted "vi" as the supreme editor (emacs users need not
hang their heads in shame after all emacs can emulate "vi" :-)

Debian and it's children have won the distro wars and all hail their
supremacy. Sure there are some rpm distro hold-outs, but they know their
time on earth is limited and accept it quietly now. They will eventually
take their places on the ice flows of time.

Postfix is the clear choice for mail transport. Sendmail advocates are
now too old and arthritic to spread any dissension. Qmail users are all
so fed up with the SOB who maintains the code that they don't want
anything in print that associates them with him.

As for the email client, Thunderbird came storming into the ring and put
the smack down on all those Pine users. Then it leapt up picked up a
chair and smacked those Evolution junkies upside the head. You won't
hear anything more from those wimps...

Anti-virus is ClamAV. All the others have sold out to The Man; and The
Man don't hang out on no Open Source lists...

Business Productivity Apps? Open Office. Heck no one can even remember
any of those other ones that used to fill-up our menu bars.

So what is there to fight over these days? 
Even folks stuck using Windows opine for that time in the not-so distant
future when they will be able to switch over to a version of Debian
linux (running Postfix, Thunderbird, ClamAV, and Open Office).

Here's to the quiet times! Cheers!
