they released it under the GPL several months ago. somebody recently announced on debian-devel that they are packaging it for debian, so it should be available in hamm (unstable) sometime in the nearish future. i haven't used it yet, but it sounds good. can run some/many Win apps without having windows installed on the system. apparently it can't yet run the big MS apps like Word or Excel. for more info, see http://www.willows.com/ craig -- craig sanders networking consultant Available for casual or contract temporary autonomous zone system administration tasks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
