    Whats up with the need for DOD to make the desktop environment look like Windhoze.

      That is exactly what I would have don.   The goal is having users be comfortable with the environment and that means remaining as close as possible to what they are familar with.  The more you try to force a “real” Linux interface down their throats the likelier they don’t use it and introduce a security risk. 

      BTW:  I have been a Linux advocate since 1994 so I  have no need of playing this kind of “holier than thou” games.

Yesterday watched a movie with Morgan Freeman called ‘ A long came a spider ‘ and must say that I was quite impressed how they exchanged encrypted messages hidden in pictures. Thank you for the tutorial :)
