now I now you want to laugh, no I do not have a cow fetti5h (intentional use of 5 to avoid spam traps. Where to next googling for bovine names is always a laugh ...... I read once that naming based on services was not a good idea, i.e router-ext etc. I know about security by obscurity .... My question for the list can I install terminal services onto a windows 2000 workstation, if so how .... have googled and dont believe its possible.

'Skip-mangling newbie tip' #2 (at least on GNU/Linux, after sufficient partitioning): Give system naming good thought at installtime, so that you don't later want to change it.

The more the better. Unfortunately we live in an age of 'market mindshare competition', and we need to adapt to this as a positive for our community :) There's room for all. > Regards > Reg I hope it goes well, -- Rik Tindall, InfoHelp Services <http://www.infohelp.co.nz> on virus-free Ubuntu GNU/Linux 6.06 freeOS, 2.6.15-26-686 kernel, GNOME 2.14.3 desktop
