Browsers are free my friend, even Opera. Opera is also available for Linux (http://www.opera.com/download/). My superior tools comment applied to Linux and Windows where superior tools are available (at least superior to Netscape, IMO).

I don't have the time to explain to you why some of us love freedom and community , and use linux not only because we are convinced in real ways it is technically superior to some other operating systems but that it is morally superior as well.
Sorry, it wasn't meant to. I don't need explaining to, if you'd have read it more closely you'd have seen that no where did I suggest one OS over another. In fact, I spoke of browsers exclusively. Linux is a fine OS, the open source movement is badly needed and I agree in part that it is technically superior, I may debate you on where morals come in but you are entitled to your opinion too. BTW, here at Range we use SGI IRIX(5), RHL 6.2(4), SUN OS(1) and Windows 2000(2) so I do have some basis for comparison. -- Jeffrey D.
