yes, Ben, it is. Does that version come in a complete distribution with
GUI? i will save this information for when I tackle linux again. At this
point I'm trying to get a computer together on the side so I can install
and play with various operating systems without becoming handicapped in
doing the things I do on this machine. Untill I can use another OS I
really need to keep plugging with this one, as crappy as it is, because I
have work to do.
