Re: DSL firewall/router solutions?
Or, is it just easier to use iptables/netfilter on my system at home and make that the router/ firewall for my network? For someone with your experience level, Paul, I'd say to go with IPTables. It isn't hard, and you'll never run into something you can't do. A co-worker of mine is using ipcop as his firewall. It is a firewall/router distro with all sorts of features. 2.4 kernel support, good web based rule setup that works in lynx (can't say that about linksys), dmz support if you want.

Re: Walmart.com sells Microtel PC with SuSE Linux software
I'm no big fan of Walmart, however, I'm not so sure the state of Vermont is necessarily doing wha the residents really want. We go camping in Northern NH frequently and on occasion stop at the Walmart in Littleton NH. I can't help but notice the disproportionately large number of Vermont license plates in the parking lot. Again, I view Walmart as just another purveryor of rampant cut-throat consumerism, but, who's driving it? It's good to see them pushing linux boxes. We know that altruism is not the impetus.

Well, I don't know how much people have kept up on the GNOME so called development, but apparently, epiphany is now the browser of choice for GNOME. Galeon was passed over for epiphany to be bundled the GNOME releases, and there are not even any rpms available in Red Hat's rawhide tree. If you're not familiar with epiphany, it's got to be the most feature challenged web browser in existence. About the only thing it's got going for it is its new (and better, IMO) approach to bookmark management -- non-heirarchical with the addition of bookmark searching. This is yet another impetus for me to begin my wholesale migration to KDE.

It's an underline from the hyperlink (anchor tag) wrapping the image
tag. I'm not sure why it appears, but it might be due to the newline
occurring within the anchor tag. The easiest way to get rid of it is
to define a simple style rule in your head section declaring that
anchor tags should not have an underline:
head

That should fix it (untested).
