Actually more of a Littlehamptonian but its all the same on the inside!
    Having said that though in L'ton we probably see more of people's
insides than their outsides - strong pub culture here!!??!!  Ahem !

Then again Bognor is a little further on and there be dragons, so...

Found it very difficult to find anything in the area when I was looking
- thought I was condemned to a London commute at one point.  Then got
this job - large company with no idea what IT is...  A prime candidate
for a little inventive linuxness!!  Chichester can be a good place.  Are
you contracting or looking for something long term?

Broadcom chipset - Linksys WPC11v4.  Why not ndiswrapper?  Been working
like a good 'un for about a year now.  Not a glitch in sight and drives
the card faster and A LOT more reliably than using the supplied drivers
on a win2k laptop.  Seems like a good deal to me!!??!!  Same
installation drove a Buffalo card at 54Mbps like a charm!!
