LoL, I'm not going to bite. I've used Windows and I like it cause I'm familiar with it, but I can see where Linux would be useful. Eh, but other than programming Pic's and maybe running Pic development programs I don't have much need for it. Then again, the computer will most likely go up on the network as a print server in which case Linux could have its advantages. I'd like to be able to boot it up and not worry about it again for a long time. Any chance Win2k could do that? Oh yes, and it's a Pent133, 32mb of Ram. Let's see what we can do with that.... -Tony > [Battle gear securely on.] > > L I N U X ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! > It's a dedicated development box for now, and hasn't been rebooted a month > or two now.
