Re: Linux in Universities
Hi, Cambridge University in England now has dual-boot Linux on all of it's pulic computers (PWF - Personal Workstation Facility): http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/pwf-linux/ I don't know if this page counts as support: http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/docs/unix.html There is more support, but much of it is local users only / availible as leaflets in the computer rooms.

Yet another method: 1) Get rcconf (apt-get install rcconf) 2) Use it to unselect gdm and select kdm services to run at startup. HTH Pete __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
