Bah. My buddy Bob (whom I haven't communicated with for a good five years, so I'd forgotten about him earlier), an old fart who'd logged over fifty-one years of uptime as of 1999, had been a Linux user since 1991. Last I heard from him, he didn't care for Red Hat 5.2 because it had "too many bells and whistles", though he thought it might be okay for a beginner. -- Sláinte, Richard S.
