Hi David, Thanks, that it sort of what I was hoping. My current 100CT has 64MB and a 20GB disk with SuSE Linux, so I probably wouldn't need to buy anything else for the 110CT unless I wanted my current machine to operate as a fully functional backup, although that would be nice. Speed is not such a big problem for me because my desktop machine is only a 66Mhz 486 with 48MB, but under BSD Unix that works just fine, even with several people logged in at once. The only time I am really conscious of the limited performance is when I run somthing that does computationally demanding crytographic calculations such as generating keys for ssh. When I want some real processing power, I turn on my 100CT :-) But a little extra speed would be nice, so if a 110CT is essentially just a faster equivalent, it sounds like it would make sense to look at going that way.
