JT! No! not an ubuntu derivitive! I will be cold and lifeless before anyone pulls fedora out of my hands. Just kidding. Actually the built in ndiswrapper w/broadcom driver on a KDE distro sounds good. That's one reason I've liked Mepis. I've read there have been repository problems with the latest Ubuntu release. Have you seen any problems? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
