Just curious, Lyle, but by the above, do you mean that you are 
"migrating" over to Linux for *home* use?  Or, are you saying that you 
will soon be using only Linux *at work*?

I find that I can't escape from Windows at work.  In the various kaisha 
that I've worked for, Windows was always part of the infrastructure.  
At present I look after a W2K Advanced Server cluster (file and print), 
a W2K/SQL Server 2000 database, a WNT4.0/Lotus Notes mail server, etc. 
as well as a HP-UX box.  I do have a Linux box at work but it plays 
only a minor role as an SMTP server for a certain app (that runs on 
W2K).  I don't make the choice of OS; IT headquarters in the US make 
all the architectural standards decisions -- that's life in a giant 
multi-national, I guess.  At home I have a W2K Pro PC, a Win98 PC that 
dual boots RH Linux, and a Mac OS X machine (which I find I use more 
often than the others)...

What I'm saying is that I can't imagine a *Windows free* corporate IT 
environment -- one that is purely Linux.  Does anyone here in this 
mailing list live in such an ideal (i.e. "Windows free") env't? ;-)
