>Secondly, please tell me how you manage to get XP running in half an >hour. It takes far longer than half an hour on all the PCs I've seen to >prep the drive and install the software. Never mind what comes after >the first boot of the barebones system. Lot's of practice reloading it :-). I've had to load it many times for work and you get pretty good at it after a while. As for Linux, I can't get F7 to run on my mail server and it's clone. It just won't boot. I'm SOL. I'm going to have to buy a new computer for my mail server or go back to a Windows system like Mercury. If I had unlimited time I think I might try playing with BSD. It should run on my old mail server computers. -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...
