Thanks for the input. I sent it back and the company has agreed to replace it with the English version. Direct Canada has great customer service.


Great news.

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.

Advice----build it with the intention of the first build not being the final. Build it, test, learn and then do a clean install with lessons learned.

I thinks that's great advise that I will definitively follow. The installation went off without any problems. The one problem I do have is the installation dvd for my mother asus mother board says that it can't open because the OS isn't recognized. It seems to be a very common thing, I can't seem to get anything installed on the sever. The Explorer blocks most web sites from working properly, is there a post here that can help me with the setup and use of the server the right way, some kind of tutorial?
Cheers
