Tell me you're not dual-booting a server, are ya? Ick! :) About a year ago, probably more, there was a lot of motion towards making a machine boot in several seconds. But unless you're a laptop person with power problems, etc, why would you need to? The other night a friend of my daughter had a friend over. When it got late, I was following an NIS curiosity when I got a shutdown notice. I hadn't heard anything from my daughter, but I got out. Turns out, the friend figured she was going to bed, so she did a shutdown from GDM and that turned off the power. I was shocked; she didn't know how to login, but she knew how to shutdown. The funny part was that she didn't live in a world where you just let'em run...they get turned off every time they get up, in their world. Guess I've been in Linux a really long time, now. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian FahrlÃnder Christian, Conservative, and Technomad Evansville, IN http://www.fahrlander.net ICQ 5119262 AIM: WheelDweller ------------------------------------------------------------------------
