Hi, there is a similar project underway on sourceforge. The goal is a GPL'ed Darwin distribution for scientific (biologists, chemicans, physics, mathematicans) students/researchers to install out of the box (if I understood it right...). Take a look at: http://gnu-darwin.sourceforge.net/ For fruther questions you can contact me off list because I'm interested :) I started building the networks for administration and pupil with Novell Netware 3.12 and Windows NT some years ago at my school as a pupil. Now they switched recently to Linux ... have to change that :) Hope that helps Marc __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
