I think a very simple front end is what the Condo Corp needs. The group I'm working with are the opposite of geek and I can't babysit them once it is up and running. It just needs to work and so simple a monkey could use it. Thanks to everyone for making suggestions. I'll Install a few of these on my server here at home and see what I can learn. Then I'll make my recommendation to the board. -- bruce _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
