My actual experience was thre months ago and for months ago. Using a new machine, properly partitioned and funnily enough using Mandrake and SuSE. If you're ever in North Devon feel free to come round and set it up with me - a local Linux guru couldn't - the basic vanilla is probably fine but a small home/office network, two printers and perl couldn't be set up. So... not rumour, actual experience. Again if you're round this way you're welcome to prove my actual unrumoured experience to be wrong. I really want to use Liniux but I cannot afford four weeks of faffing about trying to get my head round arcane instructions on websites to discover, for example, that there is no driver for my printer unless I rtied this old one and tweaked this bit here and built this or that into the kernel there. I am sorry but that's how it was. -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 3.0 with POPFile 0.21.1 on Windows XP 5.1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
