If only my XP box would send out "Me first" packets-malformed or otherwise.Life is just too short to wait twenty minutes for it to renew the network address via DHCP. Linux at least connects to the LAN instantaneously.Mmmm..don't have any games,though. How about turning my flat into a Linux Cyber Cafe instead?Or a Linux drop-in centre?
