That sounds as if you're suggesting a reinstallation of what's already there? I was hoping that, by adding a second drive and putting my production system on that, I could leave the NT/Linux development stuff as is. It's not like I'd be likely to put a second version of Windows on a nice clean drive or anything. :-) ........................

Maybe you should consider products like VMWare. You would then have the ability to run many O/S systems without worrying too much about killing the host system.

On a box from the last few years there should be no issue. I suggest installing Microsoft OS' first : oldest to newest. Cheers, Lloyd -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Over the years I've used only a few different Linux distributions. Can anyone summarize differences in substance or style among most of what exists? ...perhaps a website that compares or describes the most likely audience for the various types...especially in terms of how technically adept the user/admin needs to be? ........................

OT: sympatico blocking tcp port 135

Although I can sympathise, widescale "carte-blanche" blocking of ports is considered pretty heavy handed, and with good reason. People may actually have a legitmate use of those ports over the 'net (which may not even be related to SMB/CIFS at all). To my knowledge the only widescale blocking of specific ports that has ever been down was just recently when UDP/1434 was blocked on core routers for a few days to stop the SQL-Slammer worm.
