Jerry,

Thanks for the information. The more I read I will have to set up a Linux machine to check it out. Do you think that it would be better to buy the SuSE at the book store with the CD instead of D/Ling it?

Thanks

>Yes. You can log in remotely and use your own monitor. Lots, if not most, Linux servers are run without monitors and accessed remotely.
