I cant help yuo with you linuz monster but about the robbers: take some plywod anddrive a lot of sharp nails through itthen neetly place a welcom mat over the nails. then that guy steps on it the nails will go through his foot and he'll screem loudly. Thats when you get up and beet him to death with a baseball bat. If you dont he'll never learn his lesson. And if you don't get him the first couple of nights leave a trail of money up to the mat and going into your house, leave the door open a bit so you can see the trail of money go in. That'll get em. oh and have a sign that says don't steel my money.
It is certainly possible. I don't know how intuitive MD 6.5 is but the latest version is certainly very easy (which i suggest you should get if like things done for you). If not you can attempt the install. Make sure you have looked through some of the excellent howtos at www.tldp.org and also the manual if there is any. Post a message on this forum if you are stuck but do a search to see if your question has already been answered before you post.
