Are you sure, I know there have been a couple of times in the past where Gnome has leaned towards Linux only but they have always steered clear eventually. I know of one guy who runs a network of hundreds of Gnome/OpenBSD machines that may wish to know about that as I think he is already getting fed up with the increasing amount of code he has to write in order to keep the port working. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
