Originally ML wouldn't recognize the built in ethernet. I installed another
ethernet card and now ML recognizes both of them - go figure. It's ok though
since I use one for internet and one for intranet. Knoppix recognized the
card but had to be passed parameters to get the video correct. All in all,
not much to configure (although I don't like the fact that I had to use that
second ethernet card) but it got me thinking about the 'proper' way to
assemble a ML computer.
On a short aside, I used to assemble computers back in the dos days. I
stopped doing it (and recommending it to my customers) when the installs and
end user support on the 'factory' machines reached a certain level of
quality. Linux may reach that level but I'm betting that without a dictator
like M$ to force things, I'd better learn how to set up a system for my
customers.
