We'll return to gpc01@wraith.cs.uow.edu.au and All's
discussion of Linux Distribution

I found the reverse.  In fact, on 2 boxes, I had minor problems with the
RH install detecting a NE2000 clone.  Being experienced with Linux, it
was no drama (nothing a hand config and kernel compile couldn't fix :)
).
