Yeah. Literacy can be a bitch sometimes. Hell, I remember a time
when "computer literacy" had "literacy" as a prerequisite. Nowadays
everybody expects to figure everything out from little hieroglyphs.
That don't work for me -- I read and use a command line. Intuitive?
Intuition is for illiterate women (NOT ALLISON -- don't hit me!)

Can't help you there. I use Yggdrassil, Red Hat and Caldera. Any
time now I'll add SuSe and Deneb. (Yes, to my shame, I've got just
enough recent Intel boxen -- but I've also got my old Tandy 6000 and
AT&T 7300s, so don't call me a quitter).

Two thousand yeare since Bethlehem and still we hear the lie,
that after years of hopes and fears the best part's when we die.
