At the http://www.desktoplinux.com site, they have started a directory of linux distributions, apps, references, etc. Just go to the site and click on the "directory" link. There have been several attempts at putting something like this together in the past, but the format at desktoplinux is quite well done. It allows you to add new entries, rate entries with comments from your experience, and read what other people have said. Right now, it is in the early stages and could use your input. I have been adding comments and entries over the last week, but there is a lot more I want to add. This is exactly the kind of thing that would have saved me years of trial and error searching for the best stuff in the linux world. Contribute to it if you have any opinions ;) Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Right behind you, I see the millions Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net
