Really cool John, but my desktops are crying about their resources. My 24 MB P90 laptop was positively mortified until it read that bit about going to sleep and not waking up. Now it's happy it runs Debian and Window Maker. The P144 with 64MB playing the Capris, "indian girl", is too happy to worry about it. God Bless Theo and OpenSSH.
