In a word.........mostly 8.2 fired up everything nicely. Soyo Dragon Plus Radeon 7200 AMD Athlon 1900 Only problem isn't a Linux problem and I've said it before. I will probably have a WinBox 'til the cows come home because, in my business I have to communicate with people in their own (wordprocesser) language. When I get a letter in Word, I have to respond in Word to avoid obvious problems with recipients. WordPerfect in WordPerfect, etc. Frankly, I don't see where that is a problem. Linux is a tool, not a religion. It is doing faithfully everything that I expect, and did so right out of the ISO. Would that the rest of life were so simple. Every once in a while, I stumble around in the dark and either install a program or crash the computer, just for sport. Crashes and other self-inflicted wounds are becoming less frequent as Mandrake and I both evolve. More fun than a bowl of pollywogs. Lee -- Registered Linux user #223705
