<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Verdana>Is there a way to run a gui for the
server end? Someone like myself that is tired of using MS does not have a
whole lot of time entering and learning code. I would love to use Umbuntu but
for 100.00 for ms server home it seems almost worth it to stay with MS.

true. The other thing its getting much easier for Linux as a whole to use.
Back in 2000 I was interested and tried RedHat. My hard drive created a
partition...but unfortunately there was no boot loader (i.e Grub). As a result
I gave up. Compair that to ubuntu now and you can pop in a usb or a cd and be
set...wubi works for my home desktop and the usb worked on my laptop.
Obviously other operating systems have their user base. I just got sick of
windows for the most part. In places where I've worked it was interesting to
see what was used. Panic attacks over viruses mandated at one place to use a
virus scanner....which took well over an hour a day! In another place they use
linux somewhat but it's still mostly command line (no gui? why?). There's so
many places that could easily use the OS but for some reason they like
spending more money on things. Emulation I think might bridge some of this
gap. Applications I saw much of the time were old DOS ones which were emulated
in windows.<BR></DIV>
