 My friend is running Linux on his home PC, but if
you didn't know any better (and if you didn't look
close enough) you'd swear he was running Windows 95.
The fact is that his desktop might as well BE Win95, 
What's nice is being paid to support a win shop but
the mgmt lets you use a pc *nix for sysadmin, use
samba, put a telnetd on NT, etc.  Your friend must
be using fvwm95 - I just got StarOffice last night,
all 70Mb of it.

For topical material - I'd love to find a Xenix or
SCO unix box o' 5 1/4" disks and manuals to run
on a 386 - used to see 'em for sale cheap at hamfests.
