At my last job, we had a sweet old Polish lady who was completely non-technical, but who adored her Red Hat 8.0 partition and loathed Windows. We had to use Windows for LookOut, Project, etc. so I installed PuTTY and Cygwin X so she could keep working on the Linux servers :-) -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
