Thanks. RIght now the Windows box is headless. It's just there so I can access my old pictures and files. From time to time my wife wants to get on it to use Photo Impact. At some point I may get a monitor for it and give it to my son (8 yrs old). At that point, I'll also get another hardrive for this computer and back everything up there. I will probably keep Windows on that one as that is what he is learning on in school. Its only a 500MHz so everything is slow. It should be ok for what he'd need though. It has Open Office and can connect to the internet. I don't see any need for it to see the Linux box. Who knows that the future may hold. -- Christopher Taylor - Registered Linux User #383327 If this message is sent to a mailing list please 'Reply to List' or re-write the To field.
