Eddie,
Just a word to the wise - this is not only the best user group on the
planet, but it is also the most troll sensitive. (I should know, once
being the official troll in the group.) Any time you bring up an M$
product, you have to tread lightly or the flames will be flying.
FWIW, I still run my home lan off WinME (which is the biggest piece of
crap on the planet) and it works just fine (not much other than networking
works regularly). I'm just too lazy to change the setup or do any M$
install work.
I, too, have lots of distros loaded, and it's an educational experience.
