She's a windoze person. Before we met, she didn't even know Linux existed. After seeing mine run 24/7 for several months without a reboot, or more importantly a crash, she's warming up. Her XP box crashed twice so far. I rescued her data for her though. That helped. She does need a GUI thing though. Console would certainly scare her off in a hurry. Now to check into Gaim and Kopete. Here I go installing more stuff. I already have about 900 on here. O_O Thanks Dale :-) :-) -- [email protected] mailing list
