Re: [MLUG] Windows XP User Login

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Umm haven't seen it yet (I find Win2k Pro to look almost as dumb as Win9x
and NT) but I leave programs running all the time in Linux when I logout
and back in. Isn't really a big deal for things launched from the
CLI. Most good GUI programs allow themselves to auto relaunch to the point
you were at when you logged out too.
