RE: you can take the user off windows, but... (was RE: Off Topic

Apparently those "less technical" haven't tried building kde3.1 on a RedHat8 box (comes w/3.0), or figuring out how to get Mozilla Firebird compiled on an Alpha RH7.2 box (Firebird rocks, BTW), or even getting the Oracle thin client working w/Perl on Linux. Wait...scratch that last one -- it was easy! :)

bin RPMS are for wimps!
