I'm doing it kind of piecemeal ATM, though :D I have installed an X server over the win2k installation, and cygwin, and bash, some other 'Nix like tools; I can occasionally *almost* feel at home now, but there is also a slightly 'out of place' feeling to the whole experience ... especially when you realize that you are running a windowing system over the top of another windowing system because you **know** that it is, technically, superior; sort of like "french kissing your sister" (which I *don't* know from experience, but it's an occasionally used comparison here in the US) ...

Well, for reasons of personal safety and to actually reach the desired effect of escape velocity, you're possibly right. However, it strikes me as more UNIXy to leave it as is. That is to say, if you point the shotgun at your foot and pull the trigger, your foot will ideally be blown clean off on the first try, no questions asked. Also, there's nothing inherently wrong with just planting the PC in a huge crater, either. ;) -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348
