Hi group, First of all, apologies to everyone (especially the Knoppix developers) for the previous post... The disc works more than fine on a laptop of a fellow student. It is much faster, autodetects everything and Knoppix just looks fantastic. To be honest, I'm a bit jealous about the fonts used in Mozilla and OpenOffice.org (how on earth did they do that?) and the KDE theme looks very neat! Of course, a cdrom is slow, but my hardware is just, well, crappy, I guess... I've learned more than a few things from this mailing list, and one of the best is that I will compare linux compatibility instead of prices next time I buy hardware, :-) David PS: If someone can answer the fonts question or tell me to RTFM or check the archives, please do... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
