    Well then, I guess you hit your goal, didn't you? :-D

    As it has been written here before, CUPS is a usefull system inside a
    Linux network and even some other Unixes and nfs is very usefull when
    using ANY Unix and even DOS, all Windows versions (incl. 3.x if I am not
    wrong), even on MACs and probably some more systems I even don't know yet.

    It really depends on what your environment and your intention is.

    So, you are wellcome if I can be of some (or more) help. ;-)

    Yours
    Martin
