That's a *nix name. I have no clue what winderz might call it as I've only ever had one winderz machine here. My laptop had a copy of XP on it when I bought it years ago, shrunk it to 10Gb and let it live for about 6 months, but its had several fedora's, 2 different MDV installs, and now PCLos on it after discovering the windows bcm4318 driver was a bigger POS than the current linux driver. Everything else here is either 25 years old & running nitros9, or some flavor of *buntu LTS. IOW, all my windows are glass. ;-) > My XP system only checks the net time > automatically once a week and refused to update at first on request > because the dates did not match.
