That's brilliant news, I've just decided to go the full hog and run a linux only machine, in the past I have always run a dual boot then become to lazy to spend any time configuring linux to get it working how I wanted and reverted back to using winXP.
Hopefully I will get it working so I don't need windows, my past attempts at getting windows programs running under linux with WINE wasn't that sucsessfull but that was a few years ago so I'm sure it has improved a lot since then.
Thanks for your help
