Hi all,

well i think i didnīt get used with the thought installing a enterprise 
distro as a workstation. Donīt get me wrong, i donīt see any problem 
running WBEL as a workstation and iīm suprised how many of you are using 
it. I think iīll make some fresh backups of my workstation and feed the 
cdrom whith WBEL CDīs ....THX of pointing me to the right direction

So long...greeting from Munich
