Setting up the network isn't a problem...just unplug the uplink from the cable modem and viola! MS has serious networking issues under XP, and they've admitted to it (oddly enough) I dropped the second XP box for a Red Hat 7.3 box, but I haven't found a way to run Mac OS in a shell in Red Hat, so I may have to revert back to Mandrake 8.2 for that. It's not a very important feature to most, but The more I see coming from Micro$haft in the future with their XP replacement NOT being backwards compatible, the sourer the taste becomes.
I'm no linux guru, thats for certain, but I'll be darned if I'm going to rely on the $haft $quad for my personal computing in the future. Heck, I'd rather pay the $99 for Lindows than be trapped under an overfluffed dawg from the $hafters. A bit of a rant on Bill and Co. but in my opinion a well deserved one. I had better luck sharing networking 5 boxes on Windows 98 and sharing a 56K dial up connection. With each new release, it does get better (looking) but seems to fall apart after time. Looks like Loop has the right idea (way to go
) Boycott Micro$haft!!
