Dennis

   Great article, I have recently shared some of your feelings about linux
distros
in some part. I have tried RH TL and a couple of others, but ed 2,4 was what sold

me on Linux. I am in software develoment, testing is such a major function, that
all else pales in comparison. Yes the development of good solid code is the bases
for all sofytware, but the complete and utter elimination of bugs is equal to it.
I would
also like to join you and all others in such a undertaking, if I were asked. The
third most
important consideration is documentation, the developer creates proper code, user

intelligent as possible to that type of software, fully tested to 98% and user
documentation
so all know how to use it. The steps are a most excellant start to such, I have
used them 
and recommended them to newbies and those coming to Linux. I feel that the single

greatest problem with Linux today, not linux, but development tools. While they
are 
better than what Unix has had 20 or 30 years ago, they do not match what there is
in 
windows. Please do not say a windows biggot, I am not, I loath them, but the
tools are
better there and we need to get there. With what Dennis has proposed and better
apps
and development tool, Linux will too. We just may have to do it ourselves. Dennis
have I made any sense here? or a new topic for article. This is just IMHO on;y &
for what it is worth.

Cheers
