Are they typically more expensive than ::SuSE ? Yes, of course. I advise everyone to get to know others who run Linux ::and so have a network of support, as this is the flavour of the culture at ::hand. :: Dee, Yep. Your right the "others" just tell you to reinstall or use your recovery disk when a problem occurs. And if you have a hefty problem then they charge you $180 for 3 problems...on top of what the OS/addon software cost. By comparison..this is cake. And heck I wouldn't still be on this list after so many years if I didn't have some weird sense of repaying the debt to those that helped me years ago. :) Cheers! -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--
