Re: Re: coffee message

I use Mandrake 8.1 on both computers and Windows 2000 Professional at work. - apache+php4.0.6 on linux - iis5+php4.0.6 on windows :) PS: Beside that I run the program for SETI@HOME :) on linux (13h average for a packet) and on windows (40h average for a packet). The configuration for computer that holds linux is worse than windows' one but still the average it is better on linux :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Svensson, B.A.T.

It is fascinating to see how this group explcitly (PHP-WIN) dedicated to M$ software warms for thge OpenSource software, and exploits the bad sides of M$. But that's life isn't it?! We don't work with what we like to work with, but what we got paid to work with.
