and that, my friend, is why I still cannot price a Linux server install at a fixed price. there are always delightful surprises.

Not before today, but considering this controller is on-board and IBM's boards are large and complex, I'm happy it's screwed to a box which is screwed to a rack which is screwed to the ground and seperated from me by some thick glass in the control aquarium outside the Internet Zahav hosting farm. -- The true meaning of christmas Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
