Absolutely, I would recommend it to an enterprise client...as long as they
were in direct competition with my company or jost someone I don't like...

Yah...time to get used to the new world...

Thank you for the great information on the Linux system, it now makes a lot of
sense to me, in a very weird way...

I will play with it some more...

I do have one further question on this line...

Is there a file that controls the partitioning?
Something where I can change the values/sizes of the partitions, or add
another drive to an active linux system, as you described?

Where I have
/dev/hda1
and want to add (was previously Windows, would like it now to be Linux)
/dev/hda2

>/var        1 GB
>/home        All the rest.

Thanks!
