god those computers are sexy... they look really good, and have a good hebrew support (safari is better then konqueror ATM). The problem is that OOo sux there, and is really slow (so I heard). The look and feel of OOo does not match the system ones, and of course there is the issue of the support: If you have problems with the connection to the net, or you just don't know what are you doing, you are in deep shit. Did anyone scream back there "...the prize!!!!!"? I would suggest Mandrake. Good community here, and good support out of the box. (I am using SUSE here, and it is a good distro, but the hebrew support is not that great, if you are breave enough, you could go into the debian land, which I also use). -- diego ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
