Bloody awful but also bloody useful. I'm actually going to get my
boss to send me to a new Linux admin class I got an e-mail about, but,
for the most part, MS certification (and experience) is a lot more
valuable where I live than Linux experience.

Most of my Linux boxes haven't been up anywhere near that long, but at
least part of that reason is I'm so freaking used to rebooting after
installing damned near anything that since I'm doing any config stuff
as root anyway I just rattle off shutdown -r now without really
thinking about it. I guess I have reloaded the inetd stuff manually a
time or two, but I've been trained for so many years that a reboot is
a good, and mostly useful thing, so I do it anyway.

Well, I probably won't have to resort to either one for a while. Even
as much as I overdo my computer hobby I can't legitimately justify
have 4 times as many machines as there are people in my household.
In other news, I have almost got my new Tecra8000 completely setup and
configured. Running NT on it (plenty fast on a 366 with 128mb) mainly
because it's the best OS that's truly supported on it. I did find a
guy who had gotten Redhat 5.2 to work, even with X, on his, but I'm
not quite up to the hacking he had to go through to do it.
