Yes. Did it ever cross your mind that the whole "Linux on Windows" thing is pretty useless if it cannot be used in the "real world". I mean, if peop= le want to have a plain vanilla Linux thingy they can just install it. Grab a Redhat, Suse or Debian DVD and everything works fine. As there is no new information in this thread I'll shut up until a real problem comes up. This whole discussion is academic anyway.
