I use this version in this case, as I use it in another life, in a professional (?) environment. New tricks, old dog . . . bucket overflow . . . etc . . . A later version or another distro may be in order. This one "came with" the SA version installed and was relatively smooth to get going. I may just do a new VM with another flavor and see how that tastes. joe a.
