Opps, My hideious spelling strikes again. I thought something looked
wrong. "Linux". But you missed my point...not Linux itself, but a
user-supported system, competing with the products of the mega-corps.
(And don't anyone say it can't be done, because that is exactly
what Linux is doing.) It's pretty hard to defeat it too...if a
mega-corp is hard to hit because it's physical assets are spread,
imagine trying to stamp out knowledge. It's a meme.
