From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thunderbird is fine.
Maybe I have too much grey in my beard - I don't care how modern it looks.
Nah it has nothing to do with your beard colour.
I like it a lot and I'm almost as old or as young as Thunderbird is.
A lot of modern ones force you into the horrible 3 column layout and refuse to render the message under the message list.
I like the 3 column layout on larger monitors. I'm forced to use Outlook at work, and the 3 column layout works well on my 32" monitors. And as bad as a lot of Microsoft stuff is, they do a decent job with Outlook. At home, using a 16" laptop, Thunderbird with the traditional layout is my favorite.
