For sure. Time=Money. When I think about how much time I spent for trivial stuff like putting up: file server/samba, reading of board sensors, aMule p2p client on wxWindows and lotsa other stuff that takes hardly more than blinks on win, I must have gone froot loop. But ah, ok... at least I know my sys is cooler than Windows :) Dex ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
