You are not alone. I like my NT interface. But I really like the
large screen area (and the easy switch) that is available on windows
but only as $$$added software. Also, you can log on multiple times
and switch between sessions.
But remember that you did not just start to know the windows
interface.

Owww!! me too. Somehow I stumbled into this in the X windows
(minicom has never worked in either RedHat or Slackware). I got
connected but the speed was slooooow...slooooow. If I it was NT I
would know what to check and where but I really haven't a clue and
all the how-to's are not as how-to as I would like.

Yes, this is every easy. Forget the X windows scene. You can do all
this via the command line very easily. Get mySQL installed--also
easy. All the comman line stuff is easy.
