This certainly means Mandrake, but may include late versions of other distributions, so check with their home site. But I'm unsure of what you "really" intend using this machine for. Do you really want a home network (in which case conventional wisdom suggests that the server should be the most powerful box on site) or just something to run php or CGI scripts on with Apache or whatever? If you can get back with details of what you want to do with that little old box (and what other machines and Operating Systems you have) I can maybe be of more help. Personally, I like SuSE. -- ****************************************************************************** Marx: "Why do Anarchists only drink herbal tea?"
