I (well daughter actually) am using Word Perfect 8 on Linux because it can
work in the various languages she's studying at university. When it's in
Spanish, it's *all* in spanish including error messages, menus etc. Good
practice.

YES. Get a copy of Smoothwall (I'm assuming you have dial-up internet access
at present) and it does an automagic setup as a firewall and internet access
gateway and DHCP server (IP addresses). It works a treat and it's very
secure - your machines are *invisible* from the net so the hack attacks
don't work! All you need is 8M memory and 80M disc.
