sorry Lawrie you are right about it not being mainstream. Itis limited in the software you can find in the repos. Linux is on my Internet box and Windows on my everything else box. They sit side by side and are networked together thanks to you.
Oh and BTW Ubuntu just did a kernel update and now my modem doesn't work totally. It connects to the IP ,issues addresses etc but no data will flow.
