I'm afraid most of the utils you mention here are a bit foreign to me.

Yeah, *I* rather like Linux myself, and I'm running Mandrake 9 on a WinXP
Pro dual-boot system. I still like playing with older hardware though, and
have several old 286/386/486 systems yet.  I do software/hardware
consulting, so have pretty easy access to lots of old 'discards' from some
of my clients. 

 BS>  PH>> Many happy returns to you too for a joyous holiday season!

 BS> I'm actually waiting for the christmas dinner. :-)

I just had mine!  I'm about as full as a tick now though, so will have
to relax a bit before I consider bedtime.

A little bit for everyone in that one. BTW, which language is that anyway?
I'm not familiar with the phrase.

 PH> From one friend to another....pass it on...Happy Holidays!


Feliz Navidad is often heard here in Texas.

Cheers,
Phil
