As for 8.0...well...so far, outside of the GCC glitches, it's fine. The new X windows display, whatever they call it, is nice, but not revolutionary. I dunno. I was much more impressed with 7.3, but then again, there was a lot of great stuff (bugfixes by the bucketful and some neat new things) with that, so topping 7.3 was going to be tough. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** Internet: address@hidden (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: address@hidden *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
