Hi all,

Just thinking aloud so sory if I upset someone. Have I missed something 'cos
'Linux install' nights seem to be a bit old hat. I've just rebuilt my
'playing' box at home today with RH8 and it's a task so trivial a child of 9
could do it. In fact a child of nine DID do most of it as I went for a bath!
Most new distros I've used have installation procedures which shame
Microsoft's efforts. RH8 just installed itself - no driver disks, no fuss,
no problems.

Not trying to be negetive you understand - it just seems so easy these days
!! How about 'compile from source' night - or 'samba configuration options'.
That last one could be a whole weekend. ;-)

Hwyl
