Hi Rob,


Welcome to the land of Linux. I personally use Redhat 7.2, and given
the fact that I have received about a dozen email messages in the last
few days, claiming to be from Microsoft with a file that the message
claims will deal with some Windows security weaknesses, which is in
fact a virus, I am ecstatic that I don't have to rely on Windozzzzzz

Enjoy the world of a real operating system.
