Thats quite unlike how I did, and how most people I know went about it. I just got the same distribution as a close friend of mine so I'd have someone to ask. After that I switched to Debian because I felt it was a good thing <tm>. I've got to learn how to do a lot of stuff in a different way now, but I've learnt a lot that didn't change and without that I might have needed a lot more time to learn everything I've gotten into my head so far. -- Ulrik Haugen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "I contend that we are both atheists.
