I think I've got a spare HD kicking around with enough space to install a distro and give this a whirl. I'll have a look at it at the weekend and see if I can get Wow up and running along with the latest nvidia drivers. I'll let you know how it goes. I realise I can set up a dual boot, but if wow works I'll probably end up swapping them over with a minimal windows install + wow to sit in a drawer somewhere in case of "emergencies", and linux running on the main boxes. Would be very cool if this does the job. -- 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
