Unfortunately I don't have a dedicated Linux box. I have a dual boot system that is pretty much 100% in Windows because it must serve the needs of the rest of the family as well. I get my fix of Linux at the office as I have one of my machines that is Linux only (or via my dual boot work laptop at home). When I get a new home PC the current one will become my personal Linux box Until then I can't implement a Linux based solution to my problem. Jacques B.
