Re: [LI] Looks of Linux



i am sorry ravikant if you think that i was belittling him. i had in fact
sent him another mail (to his mail ID) and not to the list with a decent
mention of Windows equivalent stuff you can use with linux.

:)   means that i am not being sarcastic.  linux is for everyone and if need
be he can install the whole system having me on th phone line.

sorry again if i had offended your sensiblities. i could have worded earlier
mail better.
