Much as we'ed like to be a bit political here, this being primarily a *x type list, I have to agree with Marc. Only by inviting the windows users in can we make it 100% compatible on a faster timetable, and widen the userbase of amanda. And the best way is to put that link right under the samba link(s). It should be wrapped up in some text that encourages said windows user to join this list and contribute their experience and expertise to other windows users coming in later. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.07% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
