Great minds and all that - I'm running FC2 on my box, and 7.3
(Seawolf w/modified kernel) on the firewall box, which believe
it or don't is a clapped-out old P166 with only 64MB Ram.
Gotta upgrade it one of these days, because any time I'm away and mail
piles up, I have to remember to turn off SpamAssassin before
I leave, or when I fire up on return SA brings the 166 to its knees.

Da Missus hereabouts isn't a computer jock, either, but since she
(and I too, truth told) have a certain liking for the various
Hoyle Packs, we have to have her running 98. 

That little Tulip program sure is slick for making an old
box into a diskless workstation for accessing the Linux tools.

Am breathlessly waiting for the OOo 2.0 "real" release, supposedly
due out in, what, 2-3 months? Am a little less panting to upgrade
FC2, since I don't see a lot in 4 that is vital to my needs.

Really gotta have it fished through the walls to do it right.

I can relate. In truth I want no part of wireless at what I
think I understand to be the current security levels.
