For me there's nothing wrong with it. I also have been with MDK long enough to realize that release time is a time for rumours, things which don't work quite right yet, a few dozen patches in a very short length of time, and then 5 months or so of pure OS and distro bliss till we go through it all again :-) Please notice that I said "incredible regret". Right now I support two small businesses and nervous nellies who are a bit uncomfortable without the big, smothering arms of Billy to go running to. They're still newbies in the serious sense. I get panicy phone calls about things like this. And no matter how many times I ask if they're system has crashed yet (none) or that their spanking new Evolution doesn't lose emails the way that Outlook does or that they aren't relentlessly spammed or port scanned anymore things like this upset them. So if I do move it won't be because I'm dissatisfied. It will be because I have to support another distro. Of course if they go back to Windows they're on their own :) ttfn John
