the house with no monitor or keyboard, quietly running Linux non-stop
for more than an entire year at this point. Kind of feel sorry for it
now, but I do visit it now and then to blow out some dust and make sure
everything's functioning... anyway, I don't even see the boot sequence
anymore, and if I do need to reboot it, I won't need to see it then, either.
The BIOS is for an old Dell, actually - I'm saving for a dual G5 with
all the trimmings (<homer>Mmmm... 23" Cinema Display</homer>), so no
major PC upgrades for me (although I'm the only person I know with 768
Megs of RAM on a 500 Mhz P3).
