You are right, but then I am getting better at this, I guess innoccently I am naturally amazed to see all the cool stuff you can do for free that (as a hardened windows user) I always assumed you had to pay through the nose for the license / privilege of using.
If I need to do something that needs a special peice of software to do, I always google it first to see if there are any GNU projects out there, I think the only things I actually pay money for these days is some of the latest games, oh and I am also thinking about investing in Cedega as well :-) Sorry If I caused any offence, I dont want to sound like I am presumptious that everything that is free doesnt or is liable not to work properly, quite the contrary, I am just saying I am excited at this whole new world that is opening up before me and I am finding more and more ways of doing things under GNU software, and in ways that are easier than I ever thought possible. Again it comes down to the years of blissful ignorance using Windows and misconceptions about unix / linux as somehow being "hard" to work with. Since I have been using ubuntu and Fedora I found a lot of things especially working at the CLI, are a lot more intuitive and flexible and easy to pick up. Regards Richard Mark Rogers wrote:
