FWIW, this is EXACTLY what I did at my house. I stopped supporting Windows completely at home. Any problems and they were on their own. My response would be, "if it were linux, I could help you". I support Windows enough at work, I certainly don't want to do it at home. My son's PC is now 100% linux while I still have Win98 laying around so that I can use it for doing my taxes. (I'm finally Quicken free, using GNUCash.) Rick, your son might find this article interesting. It's not written by anyone at LinuxPlanet, but it's good none-the-less: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/23777.html Regards, Tim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
