I would appreciate a good word from anyone who > knows. Linux is Linux, no matter where it came from. But you'll probably need to get it from Caldera, if you want to run it OFFICIALLY. I think that WP is only sold with Linux, but if one of your friends had it, there probaly wouldn't be anything stopping you from grabbing a copy. But: I haven't tried. They may have made somekind of check, that will require some debugging, to find out how to make it run. Only one way to find out: give it a try. > Thanks; > Jason Earl Kent -- Anti spammer email: use "d5kf" instead of "/dev/null" You haven't seen _multitasking_ until you have seen Doom and Quake run side by side.
