A Linux mailing list? I thought the reason businesses don't go for Linux is the "lack of support" :) With Linux you ask the developers, and they, or someone else, replys with a working solution. With Windows, you phone up microsoft, you get some 1st line support droid telling you to reboot the computer and ring back. Eventually you get through to second line, who talk you through checking your IP address, then telling you to reboot the computer and ring back. I suggest you find a WUG (do they have them?). I'm sure someone will suggest a buggy, bloated, adware laden $39.99 piece of software that will do the trick :D -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
