I hardly can believe person can be more productive ftp'ing files back
and forth manually. People, let's not get on the same trail as those MS
guys and pretend that we do not have any problems and life is getting

Linux, UNIX, emacs, vi ...  whatever

I personally do not have any MS systems around, but thing like "Boo, RH 
uses MS!!!" is just too much even for me.
