The cool thing about the DG systems box is we didn't pay anything for
it.. :)
This company gets its revenues from advertizers. It's cheaper for them
to ship DG one tape, then they in turn distribute it via the linux box
and direct pc for pennies .vs UPS/Fed Ex cost. Works well..
Like I said, the box is pretty much a box with a screen and 5 buttons on
it that the operators use.
I have no technical manuals on the thing at all, but know its running
Linux ( can't recall which one, but It might have been slackware..) and
a Direct PC card, and dish..
RH 6.2?? Awsome. No problems what so ever. Installed right, set up
right, nice. THe only thing I added was
HelixCode's stuff for Gnome. Getting ready to install Netscape 6 right
now.. Just dloaded it today at work.
( Yes, it's out. )
