Heh heh, good one!

Would it help to tell you that over 9GB of that 15GB is MP3s?  I hate carrying
a bazillion CDs back and forth to work...

I use w2k at work (since our new database system is windows-based) and 
linux exclusively at home.  I would use Mandrake at work more, (if I could 
get away from our Office2000 dependency) but I can't get the damned sound 
card to work properly (SBLive with digital only speakers....grrr....)

Ah, a penguin after my own heart!  *laughs!*

No, I don't believe it's frame buffer; the image is much larger than the
frame-buffer version I used to use on Slackware...


Take care!
