Terms of site 3. Site Philosophy 1. means that technically you should be putting (TM) or in the wiki <sup>(TM)</sup), whenever you mention someone elses trademark. 2. Terms of site states: "You may not post or transmit through this web site advertising or commercial solicitations; promotional materials relating to web site or online services which are competitive with Novell and/or this web site; " 3. Being an open source project there is a preference for opensource solutions to all problems. I think it all comes back to the fact that if there is only one solution, it should be documented. Who knows, somebody reading it, might, say, No, I got this working using whatever and then update the wiki, with other solutions. Peter 'Pflodo" Flodin
