It allows for the *nix commands. Does present much of the ability. There are many other things that can be installed on a Windows machine that allows for many things that are missing on them... as a "Stock" Windows machine. Personally, though I shy away from Windows anymore. I don't like to deal with Blown Registry issues. And by far those are the biggest issues I am seeing now, and it HURTS. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
