Yeah, the whole point of the request for the course is based on $$ -- it would be cheaper for the admins to let [you] (the OP) run linux than pay for an MCSE course. | An MCSE here at work had the task of fdisking my old Linux box | ;-( Another "admin" had to walk her through booting off a | floppy disk and starting fdisk. She was lost once it started | though. No buttons to click, no wizards to walk her through | the steps, no "Next" buttons... Hehe. -D
