Hello

That's very kind of you, thanks! I stumbled upon a magazine that had the 3cd's for the Mandrake distro bundled with it, so I installed that one (for the time being.). I unfortunately didn't manage to get my isdn adapter to be recognized (usb adapter), although it is supposed to be supported (yes, read all the faq's, man's, doc's I could find, and tried different scripts I found on the web dealing with this, but it just doesn't work :-( So I still have to boot back to Windows to get on the Internet , that's a drag........In any case, I am impressed how good Linux has become. As soon as Ardour (apparently the most advanced DAW for Linux) will be operational, I guess I will not need Windows at all anymore.

Would you mind, Julian, if I mail you in private for some assistance? I wouldn't want to go OT on this list to much.

Thanks all Dirk

i will gladly give you help installing debian on your machine should you

choose to do so. it might take a little longer at the outset but it is very low maintenance and never requires a reinstall. regardless of your choice of distribution there are many of us on this list using linux, you will always be near assistance.
