Thanks Mark, I'll give that a go. I'm very encouraged by people at my radio station's response so far to suse - most have never heard of Linux,but a couple have had a play with the machine I'm setting up and said it's pretty easy to use, one person yesterday was chatting to me while I was working on it and can't wait to download it onto his computer at home and try it out. The spinning cube really sucks them in :-) And one person thought I was using Vista! -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc
