It's already there and works out of the box, but some apps (e.g. WxCam) that are preloaded in Suse 10.1 may not be there in the Ubuntu preload. There's nothing to prevent anyone from installing whatever they want in either distro, or adding yet another distro to the multiboot options. Of course, one could also install a zillion distros (including non-free ones) into separate VMs using VirtualBox. Or use Qemu, Xen, etc. -Siva _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
