Hi Alex, Yes I know this and in fact always used to use OS/2 (now reborn as eCS) but that drive crashed and I've not been able to bring it back up yet, though it is planned for the summer. I'm dabbling in Linux from time to time but the learning curve is very high. It would take at least two weeks to get up to speed and I don't have two weeks to devote to this yet. (I've just gone through an arduous but successful effort to get youngest daughter into university in the U.S.) In any event I would run eCS for my production machine and Linux for the various boxes I plan to run for various purposes at various locations I control in the U.S. and abroad. (e.g. NAS, IP PBX) Right now I'm concentrating on bringing up several IP PBXs to have transparent communications among the several needful locations and people. In the meantime it's been useful to learn about Windows as I'm the MIS Tech Support function for all family members and many friends.
