Nope, no servers for me. The reason I have all of these is because I'm the guy responsible for rolling out the new PC's at our Corp. campus. And for the first time in almost 3 years, we actually have a new PC budget this year. So, I'm loading all of these up with XP Pro and all the rest of our software, and getting them ready for the client.

I really don't have much to do with the servers, so I don't have much use for Linux. I'm not really much of a Linux guy anyway. I tried getting a copy of TurboLinux Server going on a spare box in my free time, but I couldn't get it to install, and just haven't had the chance to try it again. Maybe I'll try it again with MS Virtual PC on my machine, like I'm doing with Win2K, just for the fun of it.
The first time I read your message, I thought you'd said I needed to also hook an X-Box to my 19". I don't need to worry about that either, since I've got Grand Theft Auto 1, 2 (both free, I might add), 3, & Vice City all running on my machine.

A
lot more is right, and not all is better. Right next to my desk is "The Graveyard", a bookshelf with 20 dead or dying PI & PII Thinkpads and Satellites.
