(I started with Redhat 4.) Here is the uptime from one of my linux box's. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# uptime 1:21am up 151 days, 22:42, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.06, 0.03 Thats a web server handling 64 IP address's mail server, DNS server and a ton of other stuff.. I have not physically seen the machine for about 6 months.. it just keeps on working.. The only reason I rebooted it last time, was to install a newer kernel. As for not being able to make a small clean mandrake, if memory serves, you can make a 60MB install quiet easily from the install program, don't get much cleaner and smaller then that. There is nothing to stop someone from installing a base mandrake and rolling their own WM's and stuff.. I have done it in the past, but can't be bothered nowdays. rgds Franki Mandrake Gamers mailing list: htmlfixit.com/mailman/listinfo/mandrake-games HTML Perl PHP n stuff.. htmlfixit.com
