And here I thought that at 36, I was an 'old fart' when it came to playing with computers. By the sounds of it, I'm still wet behind the ears :) I've been doing this since my first computer, a TRS-80 model III (cassette tapes for storage, 48k of ram (that was the upgrade) and hexeditors were my favorite toys). I was shown linux for the first time by a friend of mine the same day I passed my last mcse exam. I've long since let the mcse lapse and haven't used anything other than linux in years for both desktops and servers. Ron
