Thanks for all responding to my question yesterday. I will be installing Debian on the imac tomorrow - just a quick question, will it be able to recognise my USB CD Burner, as well as all the sound files I have already (.aif and .wav) under Debian, without much hassle? I am new on this and drown easily ;-) All best, Pedro ----- Pedro Carneiro http://www.pedrocarneiro.com ================================
