Now I'm wondering what kind of performance I actually have. :) Three tulip NICs (Linksys), two sis900 (on-board), a Linksys hub. I know splee diddly about performance (though I've heard Linksys == crap), but I know my blinken lights are blinken furiously. I've got three terminals up at the moment and I can barely tell the difference between one of the terminals and the server. File transfers could probably be faster. I guess I don't actually care. I'm just trying to put off doing something more constructive by wasting time here on this list just a little longer, and this thread got my attention. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
