> Intel has been using linux to bring up there new products for years.
They pulled the same thing with the Pro/1000 drivers 6 years ago. At the time I was spec'ing GbE NICs and went with Alteon instead. Intel may parade the model wife but still sleeps with the MS whore. Nothing has changed.
That night, while the Trojans were more than a little comatose from too much drinking, the Greeks slipped quietly out the trap door Odysseus had had built in the horse's belly. Killing Trojans and setting fire to the city, they quickly won the war.
Now you're a pro having kicked more than one distro and more than two back to back releases, but you feel sort of, well, lost. You need to git reeel and think about weening your self from the distro+binary habit.
In the olden days I'm told, you had to get a bare kernel+drivers, always vendor/hardware specific, and then scrounge around for apps that never compiled the first OR second time. There were no binary anythings. Basically if you wanted to not be sucking on VMS (or worse), you had to learn how to make the little changes peculiar to your hardware, kernel and personal limitations. No package management, xmkmf barely worked, library mismatches and loadable modules. THE HORROR. If it wasn't all working, nothing worked. Blah,blah, acknowledge, move on.
Make RH's business decision to survive your opportunity earn a bit of your own freedom. You can start here if you like: figure out what shared libraries app xxx needs (ldd); how to build application software from.src.rpm,.tgz and statically. Pull something from ftp.xx.kernel.org and work with it until you can apply 1 patch, configure and build it reliably. Play with kernel configuration until you have no unnecesary modules or wired features ( 900K for 2.4.x, 650K for 2.2.x), learn to write simple shell scripts, regexp, sed and awk. Boot to runlevel 3 once a week and see for yourself what's behind the GNOME curtain. Dont forget where you came from and how dehumanizing it was to be force fed fec^H^H^H strained carrots all the time.

Anyone else seen an unusual hit count for port 554 (rtsp)?
Spot on for all counts. Don't forget the ROI & finance sections, and expect it all to change more frequently than you might guess.

(i meant 'no loadable modules') Dont you like going back and rereading your own stuff???
