Linux and OS/2 hit much different "markets". I'm interested in Linux
because I want to do kernel hacking, and I want to promote Free
Software; OS/2 is inconsistent with both of those goals. For people
who want a stable platform to run applications similar to current DOS
ones, OS/2 is far more sensible choice. [As Presentation Manager is
one of the targets of the Apple Look&Feel lawsuit, I would also
encourage people to use OS/2 rather than buying Macs :-)]
Does OS/2 have some sort of login system, and how much work
does it appear that it will take to start porting the Athena
environment to it? We've got to have something to compete with
MacDiscuss and TechMail...
