Don't answer his question about the 60+ charcatar CLU you just typed in 10 seconds (which of course everyone BUT HIM totally understood), try answering with something that resembles English, rather than a brusk barely undertandable mumble that everyone in the room BUT HIM understands. They already know the answer.<br><br>And when he brings in his laptop, and you can't get his wifi card to work (Yes that's about a dozen or two linux wizards depending on the meeting of which about 2 tried for a while, and 1 or two chimed in their thoughts), don't just say something like " go try an NDIS wrapper, where
are we going for drinks" To me that sounds like a NLM I use to load on my Netware servers. Which tells me you either can't do it or don't care. Either way, I'm on my own.<br><br>You guys have a ton of knowledge, and actually can speak quite well. You just tend to leave everyone else in the dust. After a while they take a different - less dusty road.<br>In my case I still play with the occasional ubuntu CD, but I don't have the time to learn linux as well as I can manage and lock down a windows box. <br><br>I still hope to migrate one day, but not before I can get all my windows apps working and KNOW I have a working firewall. I still read this because you guys have some great ideas, and I can pick apart some your answers until I understand them. <br><br>Lance<br><br></div></div><br>
