While doing this, those who enjoy using Red Hat's environment should then write to AOL and tell them how they are switching to a different product. I for one, never use anything with AOL in it! I don't like their proprietary stance on so many things and how they fuck up every computer their software touches. Case in point, just look at any computer that has the AOL internet explorer and other components on it. I've talked to numerous people who installed AOL and how much trouble they had with their systems and how they couldn't get all the stuff out when trying to remove AOL. IF Red Hat goes down that path, I wouldn't go near it with a ten foot pole! On Sun, 20 Jan 2002, Charles Crawford wrote: > I wish I could be as optimistic.
