mmm.
I wanted to order some self-designed postage stamps online.
First opera in Linux, crashed on the link.
Tried Firefox in Linux, crashed on the link.
Then an other Firefox on the eeePC in Linux, crashed on the link.
Then booted Xp, with Firefox in Xp it worked...
Now I dunno, but could it be 'Linux' is rejected?
Try this site:
http://tntpost.nl/voorthuis/
and then click on:
'Eigen postzegels maken'

There all sorts of politics played out on the web..
and of course not only on the web.

It is a bit like: We want open source and Linux (gov POV), and
then you get his. (tntpost is strongly connected to the gov).
Just like 'we want better public transport', the result:
No public transport at all here much of the time.

So what do I make of that 'rider' they talk about....
Probably MS will bribe some of them, that could be the whole game.

Works fine for me ! Says something about 9euro and logging in ! My
German is rubbish. Crap web site though, very messy !

Same here on an old SuSE system with Opera 7.11.

And your German _is_ crap, because its Dutch (.nl). ;-)

See ! I said my German was crap... :p

But then some of the attempts to make Linux and OSS a second class
system have backfired miserably. Not long ago, I tried to submit some
information to the City of Bellevue engineering department's web site.
It doesn't work with Opera or Mozilla. But the symptom is that the
entire IIS/SQL Server site goes down. When I try to go back to the
home page, its no longer there and that condition lasts for an hour or
so (until their IT guy reboots the server, I guess).

I wonder how long they will let that go on.

I remember a client a few years ago who had a weird M$ server issue.
Users would login and then if they just switched of the machine (The
days before ATX Psu's) the server would just freeze and then other
machines on the network would start to go down as well. Thing that was
really odd was that the server wouldn't restart if there were any
machines still active. As far as I am aware they never found a
solution. The client did move to a Unix server but by that time I'd
moved on.
