It certainly does, ibka, thanks for your help

Thanks ibka, that did the trick. Wasn't aware it had to be manually started. I'm logged in from another computer now, great stuff!

Thanks for the tip - it worked!! Looks like I will be moving over to Salix soon.

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow.

Hi, i have been using Debian based stuff since dumping Windows a couple of years ago.
I tend not to "get under the hood" too much, and am currently using SolydK BE and VM Ware Player for Windows 7 & 8 (yes I still have the occasional use for them) I am also running Salix XFCE in there too ...
