Thanks for the info. Actually, I will probably be reinstalling some
other linux distros on this box so I won't get to try out your
suggestion. I got copies of Corel Linux and Caleda OL (eDesktop and
eServer) from the Linux Canada Expo here in Toronto which I intend to
try out on this box. I'll try and snag a copy of Suse when I go tomorrow
to see Linus Torvalds' keynote speech.
I figure if I try out each distro for a couple of weeks, then by that
time maybe potato will have been released :)
