Thats all very nice, but you've failed to actually say what is bad about it; I've seen it run on machines ranging from a PIII 550 w/ 512MB to a 850 Duron with 512MB to this laptop I'm using which has a gig - neither slow any 'slow and unfriendly'. If my computer illiterate mother can use it, I'm sure *anyone* can. Matthew _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
