Thanks for the feedback. I notice that Lindows no longer claims to run windows programs which was its original conception. It seems now ther are saying taht you have to get WINE, WIN4LIN, or soem emulator to run windows programs. Seems liek eth only thing LINDOWs has going for it is that its a friendlier interface. A columist once said tah th e"the monment that teh makers of Lindows sart pushing SUNOffice it means it wil not microsft offcie and that Lindows is dead. Guess what on their home page? SunOffice. I think I'll go with RedHat
