OT: Linux Question

[desinor at sympatico.ca (Jean-Claude Désinor)]

  Glad you asked!
  There is a Bittorrent client for Linux. You can get it at, where else, 
Bittorrent.com
  They have a choice of various Linux flavours, various Mac flavours, 
and, since some people have no other choice, Windows.

  No need to compile anything. Programs are distributed in "packages". I 
believe Knoppix uses either .deb or .rpm packages, which make it easy to 
install software.
  Linux has nothing to envy from Windows, the only problem with Linux is 
the FUD being spread by MS, like Ballmer's statement last week that 
Linux is infringing on MS intellectual property. But rather than 
scattering, the Penguins are asking him to show what is infringing or to 
shutup.
  Let me know how it works for you with Bittorrent!

raw files, printing them to a Canon printer, burning CDs and DVDs, have 
not tried editing movies but the software is there.)
