Being tools as your equipment is, you're in no position to benefit from anything I might be able to tell you. I take it you neither have or use drive sleds. Those might possibly be installed by a qualified hardware computer repair shop for you. Alternatively a computer reserved for experimental work only might provide you sufficient latitude to do some safe learning without damaging your other assets. This of course all hinges on money availability. Fortunately in addition to the prices for hard drives best go with sata drives the drive sleds run about $40.00 American each which compared to the price for a new computer might come out somewhat reasonable. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Remember Microsoft didn't write Tiger 10.4 or any of its successors. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
