It seems you >need a new ISP! Umm ... yes, that "old" email just popped up from somewhere ... :-) I use the Fedora distribution of Linux. I buy a new version every year on DVD at about £8 including postage: this contains about 9GB of software. On top of that, I've downloaded a specialised HTML editor, Basic, and a couple of utilities. The big programs come in a package which installs automatically and compiling the utilities is done in a couple of minutes. I've never bought a Linux magazine, but I have bought two books (less than I bought for the QL). I call that a bargain. Indeed ... enjoy what you have ..... -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
