It has support for profiles, and probably a bunch of other stuff Terminal doesn't that I can't think of at the moment. I've used OS X as a host for a CentOS VM, but it's usually for a fairly limited task (e.g., I need to access an Avocent KVM remotely, but perhaps all of my local servers are down, and these devices for some reason support linux but not OS X). I spend much more of my time accessing my CentOS machines over XQuartz or NX. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
