This is already done. Goto www.mandrake.com and download mandrake linux version 7.2. You are correct, the SME folks have created one of the easiest linux SERVER distros around. However, just about everything that makes SME what it is would do very little to making a good desktop distro. The primary factor in a desktop OS is a top notch, easy to use, GUI. KDE and Gnome are getting close, but they still aren't up to the level, as far as easy of use and OS integration, of the Windows GUI. Really, KDE is about where windows was with a GUI with Windows version 3.x. > those who would, would be smaller sites, possible home I can't see how these folks could go wrong with the current SME. Without the overhead of a GUI, these folks can setup a simple SME gateway on an old Pentium or Pentium II machine and be off and running. Additionally, KDE is MUCH more complicated than the server manager. Regards, -- Greg J. Zartman, P.E.
