Having said that, I think the next time I decide to set up a new version of Linux I'll take RedHat for a spin. Just because I've used the Slackware distribution for the last 3-4 years doesn't mean I like to do things the hard way, it's more like inertia (i.e. I'm used to installing it, and can do it without thinking). What I really like is how easy X-Windows has become to configure. I remember the nightmare I had setting up Xega, back when that was the only way to run X if you didn't have an ET4000 based video card! Zane | Zane H.
