That keeps configuration files separate, and > simple access to your files. very true. in all distribs, i log in as user 'geo', but i am assigned a unique /home/geo-?? path. in "/home", i have 1 user '~/geo', with the different distribs having a user 'home' for user 'geo' in '~/geo-sl', '~/geo-fx', '~/geo-??'. each '~/geo-*' have soft links to '~/geo' for common programs, like mozilla firefox and thunderbird. works great without any problems. -- peace out. tc.hago, g . *please reply "plain text" only.
