It does get better and very rewarding with it. What you have to remember is that Linux is not Microsoft Windows. You need to forget what you learned in Windows (Windwoes as I sometimes comically term it) and learn computing the correct way. That isn't a joke. Once you mastered Linux you can give the BSD distros a try or Belenix (open Solaris from Sun Microsystems). -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
