Let me put in a plug for stormix here - also debian based, but it just feels better integrated with straight debian then corel does. I've helped a few people do corel installs (they wanted an easier installer) and in the end they ended up switching to stormix because of problems when they tried to add non-corel debs (mostly kde based stuff) to their corel systems. Now whenever I have to help someone non-technical set up a linux box I start them with stormix and then update their /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update;apt-get upgrade Your mileage may vary of course. jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.
