Heh, I guess so. (Tell it like it is, Brother! :))

Right. Thanks.
Well, that's done it. I'm on Linux full time now (thanks to KDE and Mandrake -
and you guys)
Now...the only problem is deciding what to do with the damned NT CD...a coaster?
Jewelry? :)
And I now have a free 2.5GB hard drive...
Oh, quickie:
For those living in Malaysia, I'll write up a mini Jaring-HOWTO for Mandrake and
Kppp.
This one got me stumped for quite awhile - no reason others should be so
stumped. (when in fact it's sooo easy...hopefully others are, unlike me,
brighter than an eggplant :-P)
Cheers everyone. I'll be quieter now (unless I'm helping out).
