cgregan@xxxxxxxxxxx,
I agree here. I do not have the time to DIY linux. It is why I don't use linux. I downloaded a few livecds and tried to use them, but just about the time I get everything set up the way I need it, I make a mistake and have to start all over.
After about two months, I gave up, and hope someday to find something that works.
Maybe someone here could help?
Thank you.
John
