about a million people are going to tell you (and they are correct) that the GIMP is every bit as good as photoshop, and they do not have the US gov. put people in jail for talking about how poor their encryption is under the DMCA. you might also consider that while dreamweaver sites appear just hunky dory in IE5.x, they are NOT standard HTML and do NOT appear the same in all browsers, which is one of the goals of the HTML spec. I am not all that familiar with the abilities of UltraDev, so I really can not comment on that. but like I say I am not a big fan of flash, bells and whistles taking up the bandwidth when really what i want is informantion Plug and Pray in Mandrake is pretty good, (try kudsu) but it uses the pci spec, (as opposed to M$ closed source (protected secret) PNP specs) and so you have to turn off plug and pray aware OS in the computer BIOS so that the BIOS will go ahead and "initialize" the cards and assign Irq. in your case, I would think you might have to have the BIOS assign (or reserve) the IRQ for your network cards isa slot.
