Not sure who this peachy guy is</smug>

I'm aware of the acronym, but when talking to non Linux people, I think it 
simpler, as people get the drift, rather describing it as  rather than a 
compatibility layer. The getting into bottles and all the other linked 
stuff it can make your head spin.

Still using/playing with Linux has re-awoken my interest in computing. It 
is much more fun than messing with the MS offering.
