  The httpd is kicked on startup. Pointing moz at http://localhost or
127.0.0.1 works as expected. (Pointing it at http://localhost/~user
doesn't, though... but that's something wrong with httpd.conf, and
I'm working on that)

  The ethernet is working fine. About the only errors that I'm finding
from dmesg are to do with one of my hard drives. eth0 is being found
and initialised as expected.

  Hrm. That's something I've not tried (not having much experience
with such things). I'll try that when I get back home.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while
and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.
