Welcome to the land of geek. You > have been assimilated. I already have the XDMCP service up and running so I can run XWin-32 from my Win2k laptop. It runs really slowly though. Next: - Get samba configured (never done that) - Move my CVS repositories from the old Win2k machine to Linux (where they should be!) - Get the cvs pserver configured (did that once a year ago, don't rember how though) - Configure a firewall (never done that) - Setup a gateway/router (never done that) - Setup bind (tried once, no success) - Virtual hosting with apache (pretty simple) - Configure sendmail (no clue) - Configure PostgreSQL And, of course, I've already wasted half my day tinkering with themes and window managers. (As the Tick, or your favorite super hero in peril) Must...focus..day...slipping..away.... A VPN sounds like fun, then I can give my friends accounts on my machine. Why? Because I can ;) David David
