[LUNI] New to Linux

[Mike Scott]

Or the Windows way.  Nuclear launch initiated.  Click "Cancel" to abort.
User clicks Cancel.
Windows returns an error dialog stating that the Cancel program has

continues).  Would you like to send an error report to what was once
Microsoft but is now a steaming radioactive crater?

This thread has severely forked!!!
