1st off I have really been screwing up here in the forums, since my 1st and 2nd post in the forums are via an IE6 browser. I apologize - since I am dual booting. I have used Mandrake 8.1, 10.1, Knoppix 3.6, Linspire 4.5, and now finally Fedora Core 3 in the past. For some reason - yet to remain unknown - I have stood by MS. :x No more, Thanks to the worldwide Linux community and all of its information. From here on out my posts/replies will be from my Linux based - Epiphany browser. Thanks for helping me, finally, make the switch over to FC3 and Linux. Bye - Bill. I now declare I have more than Bill as as friend. Thanks goes out to the "whole" Linux community - worldwide. :x

However, as Linux grows in popularity in the near future, those losers on the net who have nothing better to do than to cause trouble to computer users will prob find Linux a viable target and create malware, malicious viruses and worms for Linux. Not to be smug or anything, but I don't think "typical" Windows users are smart enough to "bother" Linux users with those types of things. They are too busy securing the Windows OS. That is the smart ones anyway - but we all know Windows is all about being pretty, the GUI, and up[censored] - thereore I know it'll be ok for now.
