Hmmm, Ican see from this why networking is so important to linux/unix - once
the machine's set up its virtually impossible to expand it and add on extra
disk capacity without starting afresh and reformatting everything! Must be
easier and less disruptive to simply add another machine onto the network.

It makes you wonder whether Gates is right that linux is no real threat to
windoze - as Apps grow in size and complexity as windoze ones have, Joe
Public will soon get left behind - unless he knows a good tame systems
techie!
