Sure it is. I have used Linux since just before redhat 5.3. I think it
was 5.2. I do not even have a Fedora release installed. Have not for
some time. I use Rawhide when I use Linux.

My work requires Windows mostly and some Mac OSX. My personal preference
is Fedora Linux. So I try for cross platform software when and where I
can. That basically means Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice. And yes I
have tried WINE, QEMU, Xen but the Windows programs are more than they
can handle. VMware? You have got to be kidding. Too slow. So I duel boot
my home box when I need to do so.

Once again. Thank you for your help in sorting this problem out.
