A liar is one who with an intent to distort the truth, does so. The 64 bit O/S's has a lot of maturing to do. I often wonder why the market has been flooded with 64 bit enabled motherboards without sufficient O/S support for it. Abobe has been well aware of the migration to the 64 bit arch for quite awhile and yet to produce even preliminary dates for any 64 bit flash counterparts. For now, stick to 32 bit O/S due to compatability to 32 bit drivers and applications. The software and hardware industry is slow to adopt the 64 bit standard. I keep my attention to Ubuntu AMD 64 edition for continuing work on it but I think it will be a little bit before we will either make 32 bit applications work seamlessly in 64 bit or see them rewritten in 64 bit arch. either way you choose, 32 bit is your best bet for right now All My Best MButterman

I think as this Distro matures further, we will have an O/S that as just as good as MS. MS has a lot to be worried about. There is a new kid in town and his name is Linux. While this is far from perfect, it provides me me a lot of experience to solve problems within Linux. This has made me very cognitive of a computer's internal operation. It's sad that people will often pay hundreds of dollars to buy a computer and never really understands what makes it tick. As long as they push the power button and the screen lights up with a Windows logo, they are pacified. I hope the writer of this article will enjoy their journey through Linux land, nobody said it would be easy but they said it would be worth it. All My Best MButterman

I am a happy user of Ubuntu. It's this kinda news that makes me wonder if MS is backing SCO under the table. Now of course I expected MS to cry foul. Personally, If you can strike fear into the curious about the sins of Linux, that maintains your cash cow. For the uninformed, this would read as if MS was filing the lawsuits the very next day. Why spend the money and time to take this to court when well designed publicity can do the same thing. Fear is the best motivator and the most effective one at that but even the most uninformed will eventually educate themselves so fear is a temporary motivation at best. Because Linux is so diverse with many distros, How would MS possibly accomplish such a legal feat of daring. Advice to MS: Design a good O/S and they will come to you. Make this O/S reliable and easy to maintain. Make it affordable and give it the ability to run with older computers. Make it secure enough where anti-virus and anti-spyware programs are a thing of the past. You might find after all your soul searching that you have just developed Linux. All My Best MButterman
