I like Ubuntu too. If you want a desktop OS that Just Works and doesn't require a lot of time to configure and keep up-to-date, it's a good choice. On the server side, however, I find that it is FreeBSD rather than Linux which Just Works and lets you do excatly what you want without any fuss. I find that once you get into the little details, Linux is an appalling mess of disparate components thrown together with no apparent plan or purpose. It gets even worse when you start looking into the kernel source... No abstraction, no modularization, and very little consistency. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
