Erm, this is a mild critique on the art, but it got
horribly mangled over here, presumably because of a
proportional font issue. :-) Not that it matters; I get
the gist of it anyway.
Hopefully Hadron does too.
(There should be a FAQ on this, but faqs.org doesn't have an
entry for alt.ascii-art. :-) )
As for Linux glories -- I'll admit, I frankly don't know
what the heck that means in this context, except that Linux
simply, quietly, and nicely works, whereas Windows wants
to be noisy about it and occasionally likes to throw curve
balls when one really expected a simple, straight response.
For the most part, as no system is 100% perfect. But Linux
meets 99% of my needs right now, computerwise.
