Hans,
If you remember correctly (or saved your old emails)  about 18 months
ago I sent you emails and we talked about Linux.  I think you had 
just installed on your machine at home.    You sent me mail back 
and we discussed it.     

At the same time I posed a question to the list (Midrange-L) 
as to what the group thought about Linux and if there were
any synergies between the AS/400 and Linux(like there is
between the AS/400 and NT on the IPCS).    Most of the 
responses back from the List were "What's Linux?"

Well the world seems to be catching up with my questions.

John Carr
So far ahead that I'm behind.  
(it's a joke guys)
