Sorry about that! We can also buy you one and send it to you if you like - I would hate to see anybody go out of pocket on this project on top of their volunteer hours. > Well I have the machine up and running in DUX and it seems OK so far.

Indeed it is, though I also figured it as a fairly foregone conclusion that we'll go for a fully capable CDROM/FTP/... install when that truly becomes an issue since WC has an active interest in supporting such things (as does the project). > I will probably buy a copy of RedHat anyway just to see what it looks like > and what the install is like. Yeeks, don't buy that, I'll send you a CD. :) Jordan
