Same here. I find Linux is pretty easy on hardware changes, as long as you don't use a stripped down kernel config of course. It just finds new hardware and goes ahead :-)... and NO you don't get double or triple entries in Hardware-Manager :-). Last time I just move my RAID-Controller down one PCI-Slot..... Linux and BSD just didn't care, booted and worked.... Win2K needed 2 reboots until it stopped complaining about finding "new hardware". Regards, Jan
