lol - Yes, I have a Segal directory. I like some of his movies.

Thats great its working for you as this tells me I have something miss
configured or not set right.

You know, I have to say that since I started using linux many moons ago
I have really taken off on it. In fact, I dont
even use windows anymore and I dont even allow it in the house (lol).
Here is my setup in the house right now:

File server (dino) in basement - 1TB storage (used to be alot :-) ),
Also performs as my firewall, DHCP server, Webserver.
2 Surfing boxes also in basement. 
1 Mythtv box that I just rebuilt for the TV. Believe it or not I was
running Fedora 7 on it up until a week ago. Finally 
decided to rebuild it and it took a while to remember everything (lol).
The darn thing just sat there and ran with
2 pvr150s stuck in it. Never really a problem until it started dropping
frames to keep up with all the recording and 
stuff.

Now I rebuilt and decided on a dual core AMD at 2.8 gigs, 4 gigs ram,
Gigabyte nvidia 9400gt, Creative xtra whatever sound card (needed the
optical out), 80 gig system drive and a 1 TB storage drive for shows. I
realize its a bit over kill
but Im ready for future expansion.

Thanks so much for your reply.
