Oops; that site is now down. I found a few bits in Google's cache,
looked good. All I ask is let us know when/if the site is back up.

All good points, I totally agree. Linux ain't doin all the stuff I
need it to (h/w issues; more&more m/f are seeing the light so in the
longer term that should change).
I dual boot. I reboot from Linux when I need to run windows.
I reboot windows because I have to, often.
(actually I should confess it is probably more than two months since I
last booted linux...)
