As an aside to this, I helped a friend of mine (an M$ user till now)
set up e-smith at school in his department. It works so well and so
efficiently that his little network (5 machines - e-smith - modem)is
always up and online whereas the wonderful M$ systems around the
place are almost always having problems. I have now been asked by
the "computer guru" if I would set a similar system up in other
places around the school.
Need I say more ;-)
Stay well and happy
Heracles.
P.S. The latest version of e-smith is great.
