  As I said before  BLAH BLAH BLAH  <G>, Soundlike a easy thing to do. I have
used the 5400 rpms and can tell very little if any on IDE's, SCSI different
story. There
I like 10,000 rpms, but then again who wouldn't.

  After seeing that article about TurboLinux & other disscussion there after, it
seems to me
that we either create our own distro or take what we have and just update it as
things change
for the better. Some thing along the lines Skippy is doing or was with ed 2.4. If
all distro's end
and all we have is what we have on cd's now. they could become priceless, to us
anyway. I 
would imagine that there may be a distro for a least a couple of years unless
some castasophe
hits. I am just comfortable as all get out just to keep the eServer/eWorkstation
3.1.1 as a base
for now one. Just add to it when needed. One thing is for sure I will not now or
ever again move
back to windows, except to make a living off those fools.  This of Linux distros
failing certainly 
will not help Linux movement.  Am I all wet or something, or close to correct?
Good posting
to Dennis

cheers
