running firefox, skype, pigeon, kmail and synaptic? Hardly server stuff is it?

Why on earth would you leave your home PC turned on for 45 days to read
your email?

Probably hanging out with the fix for the Vista super-slow network transfer
issue that has been an issue for over a year now.

You'd think Gates and Shuttleworth would be more on the ball!

And we all know that Quack doesn't want to do anything but maon & whine.
He was even challenged to make a linux distro & show how it *should* be
done, but guess what.....

Indeed, why not? Aside from the power consumption issue. On the other
hand, I don't know about you, but I leave mine up because I generally
have it _doing_ things, not to simply sit there and be a mail machine.

For example, my desktop machine is also my MythTV backend, meaning it is
recording TV shows around the clock. When it's not doing that (actually,
while it's doing that, just at a lessened CPU load) it's also cranking
stuff for worldcommunitygrid - cancer research and the like. It's also
the caching proxy for the home LAN, which significantly reduces network
load. It's also the media share point for video and audio files. Plus,
I access a lot of stuff on it from outside the home.

Maybe some folks can only figure out how to get Windows to work as a mail
machine, but my Linux boxen do a _few_ other jobs. :)

Heh. Funny, ain't it? This is a Linux advocacy group, where one
*expect* to see tales of things getting done with Linux - so he whines
about it.

Hey, if you don't like hearing how Linux can be used effectively, this is
*not* the group for you. One has to wonder just how stupid one has to be
not to be able to figure that out.
