syrinex sells linux boxes that are designed to be headless servers, firewalls, ftp,web,email, etc like a cobalt cube BUT in a more conventional and expandable form. check them out...we may be buying soon for our 'network edge'.
the requirement for taking the posts down should be requiring bill gates and steve ballmer to run (or walk) 3 laps of the andover building, while dressed only in barrels with suspenders, and painted on the barrels, GNU/Linux on one side, slashdot.org on the other.
of course, i hope your windows will open, so you can empty the dirty ashtrays out of them that day...++grin++ i was going to suggest naked, but we dont want to scare anyone.
no one was _FORCED_ by apple to upgrade their firmware. people act as though there was no choice. i maintain several macs in a publishing prepress house, and i _RESIST_ the urge to upgrade just because someone says to. there must be _TANGIBLE_ benefit to upgrading before i commit one production mac to it. if you are just going to upgrade whenever youre told- you need to go join the windows world- where all uprgades are forced- so youll never notice. i have several B/W macs that WILL be uprgradable to g4's. the motral of the story is to _DO YOUR HOMEWORK_ -- find out what the upgrades you are installing actually do. You can be a goat- or a sheep-the choice is yours, and knowledge is the key. (Sheep are led- Goats are Followed.)
