"Do not offer sympathy to the mentally ill.
Tell them firmly:
I am not paid to listen to this drivel.
You are a terminal boob."
-- William S. Burroughs
A few weeks ago I installed Redhat 8.0 on my trusty IBM T20 laptop. For the most part the installation has been problem-free.
One of the more annoying little quirks was that at bootup I could see that the network initialization of the eth0 device was failing. The network would be fine once it was booted. Not that it's a big deal, but you just hate to see that big red [FAILED] every time you boot your machine.
So this is my first entry into this journal thingy on Slashdot. It's really more just a test than anything. And that's all I really have to say about it.
