Since Audiogalaxy's demise, I have sadly to agree with the first one. Not that there's any useful file sharing programs out there any more. Unless you meant normal network stuff, in which case Samba <http://fr.samba.org/samba/samba.html> works a charm. Movie watching... I don't care much about movies, so I have no idea. I think there's a program that'll read at least MPEGs, if not more. As to the scanner, well, you buy your hardware for its Linux support, not buy Windows for its hardware support ;) But yes, you're generally correct. Tristan (currently using Windows because the only soundcard he's got that's capable of recording ATM only has drivers for Windows. But I have two other perfectly good ones that don't seem to want to record ATM for whatever reason.) http://www.sold.com.au - SOLD.com.au - Find yourself a bargain!
