I never recommended Linux over FreeBSD, or any other OS as a absolute. I DID and STILL do highly recommend using the OS, and obviously the applications associated with that OS, that offer the highest degree of performance for any particular task. Performance is a very subjective concept though. If your only need is to draw a straight line, you obviously do not need to run a CAD program; any ASCII based text program should suffice. For that reason, I would never use a 'chain saw' to miter a piece of crown molding. (I know that analogy probably goes over the head of many users here, but it was the best one I could come up with in a hurry). I have two screens on my desk, connected to two different PCs running different OS's. Each one is configured to meet my specific needs for the task that they are required for. I know, I have been told to use "Hyper-V" or some other virtual system; however, this works just fine for me, and if it ain't broke, I don't intend to fix it. With all the problems that seem isolated to your system, have you ever seriously considered doing a complete reformat of you PC, then reinstalling the OS and each piece of software piece by piece until you find out what the problem is, if there even is one. I am starting to think the problem you are fighting with is related to the PEBKAC principal. Oh, I got your apology. That sort of highlights my PEBKAC theory. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/6pJdznEdHfxxWgitwd3014A Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEIQb/tTwl6I1ueEVtOHMGOIfexWQFAl8e/iAACgkQOHMGOIfe xWSB7gf9FQft+hy0psvQkBw/oQExPK05fNsYap72swJWaXeUxcuCH5pLj1Rvkswn kw1sqjZD+BEQjw+iYZa9LdrBPrV2Zf30VXv2QSz0N7Dos6MN8aHbpkIFlv7gIhXQ bTnzdjv7owhoBGdg4u7rrbz7+OiBQRCzjVanyu0c8SrZBJDiFcdGD5c0dob9cldH ua0qu70+p2i9+TUH1UHJywL9vWVMUPkEjTIw8NbqPMN8buZLEHq2s1IU29xPrc3g 9wGQTnf7PGs5RTnweoIlOzERc/e8KfuAyrATA2fD5Uv+o7pTyE1rR0bIxXz3UCSj hTHkNWa3oXXk13RY32ycGemyYWytgA== =Bxci -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/6pJdznEdHfxxWgitwd3014A--
