Not totally true. Sam Palmisano (IBM CEO) issued a challenge to his IT dept to move the entire company to Linux desktops in the next two years. Not a mandate, just a challeng to see if they can do it. Considering the number of people they employ, and number of workstations IBM must have worldwide, I'd say that is very strong interest in Linux on the desktop. http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/01/08/HNibmchallenge_1.html ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
