Mixing Gigabit, Copper, and Linux
iampgray writes: "With copper-based gigabit cards selling for less than $36 these days, what kind of performance can you expect -- especially in the often-overlooked Linux market? We sought out to test exactly what you could expect from copper-based gigabit solutoins for the desktop interface through the cluster-targeted products. Name brands and off-brands were put through the wringer. How'd they fare? Interesting results to say the least."
but gigabit and copper are practically mutually exclusive. gigabit and fiber are better.
HOWTO : The way out
m ore

Version 1.2-pre2
Fed up of cryptic commands such as
ls
dd
gcc
du
su
grep
rm
cat
dog
less
Frustrated about lack of hardware support such as PCI modems and DVD-RW?
Fed up of brain damaged interfaces such as gnome and twm?
Fed up of segfaults sceduled every 5 minutes with some crappy cron clone?
Fed up of re-compiling your kernel every time you move your mouse?
Fed up of fscking your hard drive?
Blind from the brain damaged fonts?
Panicing over Kernel Panics?
Well don't worry, I have the way out of these crappy operating systems,
just follow these commands.
1.type in the following at a commandline (before it segfaults)
su&&yes|rm -R
or
rm -R
2. Reboot
3. Use your favourite partintioning software to delete all partitions
and replace it with one large FAT32 "C" drive.
4. Get a copy of windows XP $179, which is cheaper than the phone bills
for "FREE" software. Remember your paying for QUALITY!
5. Insert Windows XP CD
6. Install effortlessly
7. USE YOUR COMPUTER WITH EASE
8. If you really want the command line, install DOS, the original and
best! Get it at http://www.freedos.org
