You're welcome. :-) Always glad to help. I haven't actually rebooted
into Windohs yet since I reinstalled linux. I think it's the chicken in
me :-/

Well you haven't offended me yet ;-)  As for BSD, I have tried both
FreeBSD and OpenBSD. One I found difficult to setup, the other didn't
like lilo already being on the computer and refused to boot. The one
that was difficult to setup wouldn't recognise my network card. At least
I think that's what it was, because I really didn't understand how to
choose device modules. I got it going eventually, but didn't understand
how the package manager worked nor could I find any documentation on how
to use it. I decided to stick with debian as apt is easier for me to
understand and use.

(Notice the self-referants used. What is easy/difficult for me might not
be for somebody else.)
