<DIV></DIV><BR>Cheers for that. I'll download the fedora iso and install it one
of our blades next week and let you guys know how I get on. I'm hoping to try
to cluster the workstations and server for staff here to use. Nobody seems
to want to use Solaris! In the blades I have XVR-100 and XVR-500 graphics
card and in the v880 we have a XVR-1200. I'm not holding out that they'll
work but I'll test them all anyway.<BR><BR>cheers,<BR>will<BR><BR>----- Original
