thanks IOhannes,

well, honestly i am new to linux and don't even have it on my own  
machine (osx) but i am working on a joint pd project with Johannes K.  
so.. to give you the complete picture: i actually deleted his windows  
partition in an accident while trying to make it dual boot. so he is  
stuck now with ubuntu and i am gone to bulgaria. but thanks god he is  
very brave and wants to stick with it. actually i think he is  
enjoying it so far. we just need to figure out now how to make the pd  
externals running on his thinkpad. :)
