@Don…I think you’ll find that Farnum’s point is the root of much of the
contention surrounding your post(s) — I ‘splained part of this in that
comment answering your question on your blog.

Referring to UTM and then not referring to UTM was confusing…

If that was not your point, then I am not sure what it was. :) back at ya. Michael Don,

For the record, I do not subscribe to your UTM equation and I didn't claim to in any of the posts. Please read them first next time :). I was hoping that somebody would explain how UTM is != to big Linux box. I am trying to get somebody to explain because I don't like the all-in-one box but I do not know enough about UTM to tell anybody what the difference is and why it might be a better solution. Go forth and do good things, Don C. Weber If only my wife had been drinking orange juice when she heard about that picture.

I never said Don was smoking anything. In fact, I haven't even written my opinion yet, although I did say I disagreed with his assertions. I specifically asked Don questions so I *could* address what I understand to be his position. Just wanted to clear that up before I responded to his post. Thanks, /Hoff I’m sorry, Mike, but I need to call you on one thing…
