I'll be trying it and reporting back. BTW, Robert Young's editorial on the
above site regarding the Linux Standard Distribution is a good read. Among
other things, he notes that the freedom to choose means the consumer must
make more of an effort to be informed, as we've discussed here previously.

BTOW, right now I recommend the SuSE distribution for anyone deciding to go
with a commercial distribution. The upcoming release looks like more of a
Windows-killer than Redhat.
