I believe that particular install was Xandros. All instances of Linux are currently removed however. I'm thinking that next time I'll try the virtual machine route and quit stuffing up windows.

Me neither.

I do believe I may have found someone who reinstalls more often than I do....

I'll have to write this down so people quit teasing me!!

Btw, how come you install so many times to make such things worthwhile?

I prefer it to 32bit. Somehow it seems cleaner. Oh and I think it's up to SP2 now.... it runs the same schedule as Server 2003... 64bit explorer still doesn't seem to run windows update though
