Can you expound on this? What legal issues? The SCO claims? They have basically been disproved in court (other than the fact that SCO's corpse won't quit saying "appeal! appeal! we'll win on appeal!!!") I was under the impression, I guess mistakenly, that Linux is not UNIX certified because nobody want to pay for the certification. Which would, in any case, be lost on the new kernel update. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
