Well, there you have it, Red Hat 7.2 running where Windows 2000 Professional once lived. It just goes to show, there's no problem that can't be solved with a lot of ignorance and constant uneducated button-pushing, Wait,... that's not how the saying goes, is it? I even have X and Gnome up and running. But, man, what a crash course in Linux it has been. I develop daily in a Cygwin bash shell and telnet to my shell at visi.com quite frequently, but I've never really had much experience with system administration/installation/configuration tools. What a ride.... Now the real fun begins! (in the voice of an amazed Homer Simpson) Ohh, A multi-user operating system.. David
