I have been using GNULinux for about 1 1/2 years, and am happy with it, however, I am finding that slowly it is starting to get like the other OS's. All I am interested in is a really secure, and paired down system that can get me onto the net, and e-mail, without all the eye candy. I also an interested in learning the Unix system. Having said that could you please tell me, why I would learn (Pure) Unix over Linux.? -- Peter "Peace is never more than one thought away" GNU/Linux Freedom http://libranet.com http://www.fsf.org
