Microsoft wanted all along."

Electronic Commerce Guide: The Cold War Bits -- Part II (May 28, 2000, 18:19)
"Security is another issue where open source handily beats
closed systems. Since thousand of developers have access to the
Linux source code, it can be reasonably assumed that the level and
amount of information collected and disbursed to "third parties"
will be limited at the OS level. In closed systems, how do you know
what is being sent back? You really don't."

interpreted, object oriented (OO), high-level programming language
that has become so widely popular among programmers, really be used
for creating GUIs? Of course it can! In fact, you can create whole
GNOME applications with it. Using this Python module, creating

Linux.com: Taking the Plunge: Compiling the Kernel (May 28, 2000, 05:08)
"It's always a good idea to recompile your kernel after you
install Linux. Why? The "stock" kernel that is installed is
somewhat bloated, because it tries to support a wide range of
hardware. Also, it may not contain support for a certain feature
that you require, such as IP Masquerading (using a Linux computer
as a "gateway" in order to share an Internet connection)."
