Heh!

I think it's a matter of flavor.  I don't like Linux for the most part, but
I do like GCC, Tso's fdisk, dd, and netcat.  However, although I had a few
problems with the install, I was really impressed with Vector Linux.  It was
blazingly fast.  Otherwise, I can live without buggy cfdisk, scripts, ext,
ext2, reiserfs, multi-user, secure logins, all of which are a nightmare in
my opinion.  If I have to give up 98SE, I already know I hate XP, so it'll
probably be VL.  I think the X in XP stands for "Stop you crazy person!
You're not allowed to do that, because I'm the OS."
