Ken,

Thanks for that. As soon as everything I own clears customs (we've just 
moved from the UK to Australia) and gets delivered to my new house I'll 
fire up my Debian box and check it out.

Of course after three months or so off the 'net I'm imagining that the 
apt-get upgrade may take a little while first ;-)

Regards,
Andy
