I am new to Linux and my experience so far has been great. I've installed RH9, FC1, RC2-T3, and now FC2 on 2 MBs. Linux is more stable that recent MS OSs. I've run all of MS OSs from DOS to XP. None of the OSs since W2k-SP4 have been stable enough, on a P4, for me to even load MS Office much less compliers or a development system. I have a development system and would love to move it to either of my 2 other P4 systems but... With a little more experience and practise with the new key-combinations I plan to move to Linux exclusively. This list has been a great help to me and I want to thank all the guys that have posted solutions and recomendations. I've said this before, but the nature of this list is changeing. The 20% of the people that help the other 80% seem a little stressed. They must answer the same questions over and over again. And the people that ask these questions are evermore demanding. I will argue that the service that one gets here rivals or exceeds that of Microsoft's paid support. I subscribe to the digest form of this list. One suggestion that I have is that the manager add a link to the archives at the top of the message. Hopefully this will enable/encourage more people to do some homework. I appreciate the distrbution tables that were presented recently. Paredo tables & charts might also help direct people the archives. Maybe a small library of scripts that could collect information for people that haven't mastered the OS yet might help also. Thank you. Dwaine
