But don't mind me, I'm just irked because R*d H*t L*n*x 7.0's de4x5 driver doesn't seem to want to grasp that there's a BNC connector on the card, let alone that that's where the network is connected, so there is now a hunk of Cat5 leading to a shiny new hub (with BNC connector) sitting on top of that box, and a new wall wart occluding two outlets on the power strip. ObClassicCmp funnies: maybe it's just that my Un*x preferences run along BSD lines (with the exception of HP-UX version 5 on 9000/500s), but R*d H*t sure makes me think of the old joke about AIX: it's like what a Martian might do if his buddy returning from a survey of the blue planet told him about this really neat operating system called Unix that they use over yonder.
