No, I had a job in the past where I had to use a shared box in a lab. I would have preferred to wipe the drive and install Linux, if I had my own box, but I was sharing a bunch of boxes with about 30 other users, plus any number of marketing guys visiting from other sites. I was able to get permission to install cygwin, but Linux simply was not an option. In that situation, I *wanted* to use Linux but I *had* to use Windows, and it certainly wasn't all talk. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER [EMAIL PROTECTED] / YAHOO abreauj Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 "An idealist is just a farsighted pragmatist." -Anon
