Oh btw :oops:
Forgot to mention, Open Office is compatible with Windows, you can create anything that is creatible in Windows ‘Office’ and save it as a Windows ‘Office’ .doc or ‘other’etc , so is Mozilla Firefox free without shipping in an expensive wrapper, which IE7 is a hybrid…..check the Linux/Microsoft and Vista senario.
Many thanks for your reply cool.., and Bad Manners, cheers, good to see you both, I will check the site and see if I can get some results, I looked at the fedora site and hit brick walls through the installation after geting Java to run, I was hoping to catch anyone who had overcome this, but a good lead anyhows.
No chance Druid – the only booting to be done is a swift boot into an open fire (see above).
Why people use all these minority Op Systems and Browsers is quite beyond me. Oh and before anybody tells me that they’re safer or better etc – remember that some 98% of the world uses Microsoft – are they all wrong???
Well I’m not arsed one way or the other PB :roll: , I’m running Microsoft on four systems and have no complaints :) , just seemed a shame that I was running linux on another machine & for the hell of it tried to get into JC & it didn’t work .
I thought ‘Technical Talk’ might be a good place to ask why, as it is an obvious issue here.
I was interested in your 98% figures :idea:
As of the end of 2006;
29 Percent of companies world wide are using Linux servers (Morgan Stanley)
Percentage of local authorities using Linux in the UK: 33%
Percentage of local authorities using Linux in France: 71%
Percentage of local authorities using Linux in Holland: 55%
Percentage of Linux systems used as workstations: 61.42%
Percentage of Linux systems used for programming: 43.65%
Percentage of Linux systems used as mail servers: 23.37%
Percentage of Linux systems used as web servers: 33.38%
Percentage of Linux systems used as file servers: 24.64%
Percentage of Linux systems used as firewalls: 23.51%

Thats also a lot of people learning that the Linux operating system is ‘free’ including Open Office which makes Microsoft, Windows & Office look very expensive, thought you’d at least picked up on that one PB :wink:
Still interested however in trying to get Fedora 6 to run Java if anyone is out there…..
