Far less experience here than that :) Only been using linux for the past
few years, first trying redhat 5.2 and then not again till 6.

Normally run mandrake on desktop with net or openbsd on servers/play
boxes. Just got a sparcstation4 & a ultra 5 too, so i'll hopefully be
adding solaris to my list soonish :) Using eclipse 1mb adsl with a /27
allocation.

On a side note, is anyone interested in wifi/consume.net?:)
