What would happen if I were to, say, plug in my laptop (which is obviously not powered by the CAT5e cable) into a PoE port? Would it have the chance to fry my NIC?
I may have to be careful where I stick in my NIC from now on... either that or follow the experts as use protection, but that's only if the slot's been sleeping around a lot.
Wait. What were we talking about again?
Holy crap.
Now by "boot" do you mean to a command prompt, or to a GUI. I'll be really impressed if you say it boots to the GUI in that amount of time.
I get so freaking excited every time I download Linux to install it. The first time I installed it I dumped my system to get it up and running as a complete switch over. This was a few years ago, yes, but I'll never be doing this ever again since it didn't install at all. Bah.
I've downloaded three versions of Linux over the years. I have a x86 chip and every. single. time. it fails to install.
It either just sits there for an hour doing nothing or shoots out a string of errors.
This is another reason people don't want to go to it -- it's not nearly guaranteed to work with every single system.
Also: Somebody PLEASE tell me why Linux (any variety) uses at LEAST 3 - 6 disks. A little excessive? I think so.... especially when you don't have the fastest burner and aren't genuinely ready to completely dump windows (in the event of not being able to use Linux for what you want/need).
I'm not ruining my chances of being able to take notes for class.
P.S. - Does Linux have a "hibernate" mode (or similar to such a function in Windows)? My laptop goes to class with me, but unfortunately I can't use the "suspend" mode b/c my battery gave out a little bit ago. With that being said, hibernate allows for me to unplug it and still resume. If it doesn't, how long does Linux take to boot?
Love always,

Crap. I meant droll. Damned me and not using Preview!
Oh shush Mr. Fancy Pants, I was just being coy. But you never know, really. More stupid things have been had.

That wasn't suppose to be anonymous. That was me. K Thanks.
I dunno, but maybe someone should take the hot fire poker out of your rectum before you burn yourself too much. You're welcome.
