Bleh -- 8:37 am CST, Update by The Master

Welp, I blew last night trying to get Linux talking on Green Bay's RoadRunner network. Guess what? I didn't succeed. And, oh, they don't support Linux. However, the tech did admit it was possible to get rr working. Wheee :-)

All this because I want to test some upgrades for The Haus before I apply them. That'll teach me to be a sysadmin.

A.T. Hun comments: I love how RR seems to treat Linux users as criminals who just haven't been caught yet. Then again, they probably have a hard enough time getting tech support people who can identify the WindowsME box in less than three tries, much less ones who know beans from buckshot about Linux.

The Master comments: Unfortunately, a lot of crackers like to use Linux for their misdeeds, since it's got the kind of flexibility needed to do truly inspired network hacking. Linux is also thought of as a server OS, which rr definitely DOESN'T want on their network. I'm amazed they don't have an execution clause for server placement on rr's acceptable use agreement.
