Asus distro of Xandros on my EeePC is great. It's the perfect little Linux system for the job in hand. I expected I would wipe and re-install something else until I fired it up the first time. Though I did add the Debian repositories to/etc/apt/sources.list so I could get extra stuff (Wireshark, dsniff, kismet - the WiFi does rfmon - sweetness).
That said I don't like the XP styling, I must get round to changing that but that's the only cosmetic quirk that jars.
Yeah, they have to port SecureROM first. Do you actually use Wine? We have to keep a Windows 2k box around to run Movie Magic and Final Draft because it can't handle INT13 requests properly.

they're not, they *a specific* PC emulated in software. Generic PCs don't exist. We've run into this problem with VirtualBox and people whining that Plan 9 must be broken because VB can't run it.

We know GNU does the userland - that's covered in the loon part.
> only MTUs of 1500 bytes are supported (when did you see one smaller recently??)
We run 9000 MTU here on GigE which makes a difference for AoE & 9p
and change your MAC every second
yes | awk '{system(sprintf("ifconfig eth0 hw ether %02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x; sleep 1", int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand())))}'
no it isn't because Lunix includes: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Unix, Minix, OSX, NetBSD &c.
Linux / Unix
Sorry, it's common parlance in Plan 9 world. However, I didn't know it was so insular until your post.
"Macs were interesting because 1) they weren't Intel and 2) they weren't Unix, now they're both. Oh well."
Flash has always been annoying esp. on Lunix. I was rather pleased to find my EeePC 901 plays YouTube videos just dandy (and rfmon works on the WiFi ;)
yes | awk '{system(sprintf("ifconfig eth0 hw ether %02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x; sleep 1", int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand()), int(255 * rand())))}'

the blah blah was directed at the irrelevant waffle in the parent post
Before the state owned telecoms company was sold off they had plans to run fibre to the door of every home in the UK.
Then the cable TV companies ran fibre to the street cabinet.
Then BT ran fibre to the exchanges.
A fucking great duplication of effort and wasted opportunity.

Don't mention Polymerase chain reaction and we'll be alright.
If I had physical access the the server you're talking to I could clone it, poison your DNS and then serve you anything from the server.
Talking out of your arse doesn't make this thing unclonable.
blah blah blah I have one of the keys in my possession, the method, no matter how many bits, is right there in my key - the RFID device.
