Yes Greg,
     I tried it out a long time ago and got x to run under it, etc.  It
worked really good.  If  you do a search in the archives, I think you'll
find some messages by me talking about it.  It has changed a bit since then,
but it sure runs exu programs fast!    I tried it out when I heard it ran
exu this morning, after spending some free time in  he last couple of days
downloading the necessary (and small) parts to it.  It was actually quite
easy to install.
    A redhat friend of mine was giving me a bad time, telling me to get a
"real" distrobution of Linux, but I'll tell you...I have played with
slackware which is a "real distro" and it doesn't run .exu
     I am going to stick with it for a while and see where it gets me.
Although I don't think it has a real big following compared with the bigger
distro's (there for cutting down on potential tech help) Ken Robotti has
been very actively updating it appears.

By the way Rob...Great job with Linux Euphoria it runs REALLY fast!!!
