FYI, I received a call on my answering machine today from a friend. He said this is a virus. I thought to myself "Boy am I glad I deleted that immediately when I received it." :) I don't know where he got his info from but it was real timely.
Delete delete delete. John PS you guys have me on the bug to attempt Linux again. My goal is to serve up the files to windoz clients on survpc hardware. What distro should I pick and what programs do I need to run. Finally, Is this going to be another lesson in frustration :). I have been around computers since the C64 and am a fairly adept troubleshooter. I just have very limited time to fool around. > -----Original Message----- > From: Older PC and DOS Internet Forum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Samuel W.
