Hi again, Thanks once more. I will pass this information to my Linux shell admin who seems interested in giving the program a try up here. i still do not have a Linux setup of my own, but will keep this information should i solve my hardware issues. I have honestly been giving more energy to a mac setup, easier for me at least to get going. We will see if it works once installed at Shellworld.
