   Fortunately with Linux, using "helper" programs isn't required and   
   anything unusual can still be configured manually.  (Not true of Windows!)

   Well, this is /my/ system and I can set whatever criteria I want. :-)   
   It's also showing me what in Mandriva is "standard Linux" and what is

   one) wouldn't know the difference.
