Windows ME can actually be the same, runs for years. I bought a client several Compaq Ipaq's (mini desktops, not the handheld thingys which came later) running Win ME (much to my horror) and installed them on their reception desk. Much to my amazement they were still going strong several years later without being touched. Peter M might know if they are still there or have they been replaced Pete ? (Scott St)

Jel I spend days trying to get Windows machines up and keep them running. Today my linux box wouldn't connect to the net. I if-down and up ed, .../networking restart ed, and adsl-stop ped and adsl-start ed. Nothing worked. I even rebooted, which made no difference, of course. Then I turned the modem off and on again and got connectivity. So it wasn't the linux box at all. It is said linux is hard to configure and that is true for Windows users since it's different. However, once set it will run for years.
