I've used it on Debian&Ubuntu without any problem on home network and as Bob mentioned it talks both DNS and DHCP. Interesting how many people "dual-live" on this list:-) I have been so allergic to Linux all these years until Ubuntu. I am from Africa and I did not settle on Ubuntu just for the name but because one client insisted he wanted a Unix server and it had to be Linux. I wonder what makes people live in both worlds - *BSD & Linux - is it for similar reasons? As regards DNS and DHCP servers, I'd never thought beyond BIND & djbdns and isc-dhcpd respectively all these years (yes, my own Unix epoch is 1997). -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "Life must be understood backwards; but... it must be lived forward." - Soren Kierkegaard "Oh My God!
