I like to look at the pretty pictures.

Remote DNS? No idea. For some reason my work's DNS can see the Internet, so we can resolve everything anyway.

KyroII

On: What Did You Do First With Linux?

The first thing I ever did on Linux (RedHat 7.2) was find out how to unpack a driver tar.gz for my KyroII graphics card.
Then I had to find out how to compile drivers.
Then I had to find out how to install development RPMs.
Then I had to find dependencies for the development RPMs.
Then I had to find out how to start X.
Then I had to find out how to configure X.

Did I mention I was a Mac user before this?

Had to install an early Solaris 10 on a PC some years later....
