In my view, Ron, that's an extremely good reason NOT to install a version direct from OO unless there is a new feature you absolutely cannot live without. I'd much sooner use the distribution updates when they come (and they're not usually that far behind, excepting Linspire) and also any added functionality added by the distro. As for the general question asked earlier, if I had a lot of Windows users switching to a Linux distribution I'd point them to a KDE desktop over a GNOME desktop - it's far more intuitive to use for someone used to Windows than Gnome, IMHO. I'd favour SuSE 10.2 with KDE for this, but Kubuntu would work, too. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil.
