If you want to nit-pick, I'm the one who initially used the phrase "forced to use Windows": > When I'm forced to use Windows, I like to install cygwin, which includes > OpenSSH and has an XFree86 add-on. In the past, before I tried cygwin, > I would have recommended SecureCRT for Windows users; now I'd be > tempted to offer cygwin first, with SecureCRT as a secondary option. and I later gave an example where I had to share a box in a lab. I was replacing the outgoing Unix admin, with a two-week overlap, and they didn't issue me an office or a new machine when I started because I was to take over the other guy's office and machine when he left. -- 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
