Stefano, In theory, but from some of the postings I've seen on the Ximain User mailing list, this seems to vary. I hear lots of people complaining about how "Red Carpet did this and that to my system". I have never tried it so I cannot tell you first hand. I am always a little "weary" of "just push the button and we will download what you need and install it" software, call me old fashioned, but if the system is going to get pooched, I would like to do it myself, at least I'll know exactly what I did. -- ...Rob -- Putting the K in quality for 10^-2 centuries. ===================================================================== Robert Goshko Axis Computer Consulting Services, Inc President Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada http://www.axis-dev.ca/ Supporting the Revolution In Your World ===================================================================== Registered Linux User #260513 GNU/Linux i686 2.4.19-16mdk 11:37am up 4:20, 5 users, load average: 1.24, 1.16, 1.13
