Pure music. Fair enough, I understand that most migrators find the Command Line scary, however please bear in mind that the Command Line Interface is part of the beauty of a Linux system for experienced users, it is not something that should be brushed under the carpet, it should be celebrated and its use encouraged. That said, CLI free configuration is a sensible move so long as it doesn't break the text-based approach, which considering the modular nature of a Linux system is fairly unlikely in most cases. -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim We are the people We've been waiting for.
