Sounds good Jens, you'll have to let us know how you get on with (released today!) Ubuntu 9.04. I must be honest, I am tempted to download it and give it a play, the last one I tried (7.10 or 8.04 I think) gave me so much grief I gave up (after I trashed my working SRSS system) and jumped quickly to SXDE - it's always best to keep your options open.... don't you think? -- -- Regards Sean Clarke --------------------------------------------- SEC Consulting Limited Phone: +44 (0)23 8040 5599 Website: http://www.sec-consulting.co.uk Email: [email protected] SEC Consulting is a Sun Partner Advantage Member: Sun, keeping 10 moves ahead. http://www.sec-consulting.co.uk/Sun/index.html _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
