| (...) I can see the new & improved LEGO site fine with Netscape 4.7x under Linux -- but I thought I'd give it whirl with Lynx because I could always find the press releases easier that way. Problem is, when I try acessing it with Lynx (2.8.x), I get (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) I don't know anything about that, but one related issue is that Linux does not yet have a journalizing filesystem which means that power failures can be a real pain, especially if you have to fsck a large disk.

| (...) I like both. Linux is what I run at home on my main system.
