Troy:

Thanks for the feedback. Of course, I (like probably many other folks here)
no nothing about the Unix environment. When you say Linux is not
specifically UNIX, what does that mean? Is it significantly similar? Is Rev
supposed to run under Linux? What about Mandrake? How does that fit in?
Which UNIX system will we most likely encounter out there...in other words,
which UNIX environments would most likely be accessing multimedia-based
CD's?

Thanks.
Richard
