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).

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.
