I will only address this part as its one i'm familiar with. I will not call you names, nor will I insult your intelligence Joshua. Thats uncalled for here. However, I understand what you're saying. And I'll just tell you what I learned the hard way: Linux/Unices in general are just different. Theres teh M$haft way, and then theres Your way *with most Unices you can configure to your hearts content. Not so with Windows.*. Shrugs, I used to defend Mickeysoft, I stopped. Why? Because I realized there isn't a "better OS" out there *sorry to break your hearts Linux-geeks of the list*. There is, however, an OS that allows you complete freedom of choice. The caveat being, you must be willing young Padawan, to steep yourself in the knowledge that allows you to change the OS to suit you. Is it tougher? no. Different? yes. Much knowledge you will acquire young Jedi. :) -- Femme Good Decisions You boss Made: "We'll do as you suggest and go with Linux. I've always liked that character from Peanuts." - Source: Dilbert
