| Loaded with the defaults off the live CD I feel they work very well. Gutsy
| and Feisty both came with the Open Office Suite. I have built 2 Feisty Units
| and one Gutsy. All functioned full well enough, using GUI only for most of my
| basic computing needs. Such as; Web, checking of e-mail (via browser), I also
| tried installing programs through the "synaptic" manger, all GUI. I also took
| one of the Feisty units and did the Internet update to Gutsy. Very nice
| indeed.

| Okay, now lets tie this all back in together. Novell claimed several months
| back in a video ad that Desktop Linux users accounted for upwards of
| 30,000,000 different people. That's 30 million. Recent statements made by
| some Novell representatives indicate that they expect there are upwards of
| 50,000,000 Desktop Linux users. Microsoft has never contested the number of
| Desktop Linux users, and if anything the deal Microsoft signed with Novell
| was tacit agreement that Microsoft believed those numbers to be accurate.
