Hi Stuart, I have used LISA in the caldera linux distribution. IMHO, There is one tiny problem with LISA..... It shields you the nitty gritty internal works of linux. And... you can only use lisa on a caldera. Example, to change the hostname, you could do that with lisa. But the truth is, you could easily edit /etc/HOSTNAME and it would give you the same effect. Please note that this apply not only to linux but other variants of unix as well. So knowing this is a very big advantage for you. Although it would be a bit hard to learn linux system administration at first, it would really pay off in the long run. If you have any questions, search for it in the web or ask it here. regards, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Andre M.
