Oh yeah, welcome aboard - even though I only joined the list last week.

cheers! When people say something might be difficult I usually don't try unless absolutely necessary.Maybe I'll get one of those external modems when I've got the dosh.I had a thought tho; I could download the things I need on the this machine which obviously does have a modem and transfer it to my box with Redmond on :) I don't know what counts as on topic for this list but I guess I'll be told if I'm too off.What I'd like to know is if there are any free IDE's for C programming with Linux and secondly whether there's any good art progs (especially ones where you get good control of palettes when in 8 bit colour). If I can get those (which I know is a fairly tall order) and DJGPP working I'll be a happy linux user :) thanks again and BTW, it's nice to be on a local list.Maybe I'll meet some of you one day :) Will
The Gimp (http://www.gimp.org) is free, compatible with Photoshop, and is powerful enough for professional use.
For free programming IDEs there are loads - these are what I use:-
C/C++ - KDevelop (http://www.kdevelop.org) Java - NetBeans (http://www.netbeans.org) Delphi - Kylix (http://www.borland.com/kylix)
There are loads more too. You'll soon get out of that Windows mindset where decent software costs more than �500.
Also please hit "reply all" to include the mailing list, or just reply to the list. Your last e-mail to me didn't make it to the list when I'm sure it was meant to.
