G'day Larry, I'm surprised to hear that. I'm a relative newbie to linux and chose debian cause the others tend to dictate what u can & can't install and often (on the systems i've tried) stuff up whereas debian allows you to choose what & how it's installed but stops you from stuffing it up, so it runs (well, after all the installs i've done so far) after the install. cheers, Lindsay
