That's what I figured, but you know how un-technical sales training can be. I didn't bother to contradict the teacher because it would have just confused people, but I wanted to know for myself. The funniest part was when I asked if other OSs were supported, the teacher laughed, saying "There are no other Operating Systems!" and when I mentioned linux, she said, "What is this 20 years ago?" Ah the uninformed, how they love to be put in charge :-) Tyrion -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
