# I'm sorry...
...but if I'm forced into using Gate's operating system on my PC - I'll be buggered if I'm buying his games console as well.

are you forced?

# Yes...


...but he is a miserable bastard. I should have just let Gates blow him away.

# Anyway, my experience to date has been...
Windows 95:
3Com Etherlink III installed
Red Hat 6:
No Network Card
OpenBSD:
No Network Card
Me no likey viddy card

Windows 98:
3Com Etherlink III installed
Red Hat 6.2:
No Network Card

Windows 2k:
3Com Etherlink III installed
Red Hat 7:
Network Card installed.
Network turned of 1 week later.

It's an Etherlink III! HOW can you not accept it as a 3Com Etherlink III compatible! It IS an Etherlink III.
Linux is overrated, Windows isn't. Nice consumer system. And yes, I have run BSDs as well as Linux.

# my webserver's got
an etherlink III and it's always been perfectly happy no matter what OS I've fed it.....
Actually that's a fib. It's now got a 3COM 3C905B (I think) 'cos the Elink III died, but the statement still stands. Actually, under 95 I'm surprised you didn't have grief with the Elink, 'cos I did.....

# First network card I got was
"Network Card" and was shite as a very shite thing. I then got a proper 3Com jobbie and never had a problem, but Red Hat never ever accepted it right up until I put RH7 on, when it went "3Com Etherlink III installed. Configure?"
Could I configure it myself before hand? Could I buggery!

# Ah, well, I got no experience of
RedHat earlier than 7.1, which is what I'm using. Dabbled with Slackware before that but I wasn't interested in networking it at that point.....now it's easier than an easy thing on easy street.

# Do excuse me while
I connect a Sony games machine to my Sony tv while using my Sony sound system to play my Sony CD's as I do so.

# I agree
I haven't owned a console since Sega stung me. And now I just get drunk more often. If Microsoft start making lager, then I'll be forced to suck corporate cock.

# It all reached
a head when I went out and bought a Dreamcast game and never even took it out of the box. I thought "Stop wasting money on consoles". Still, PC's aren't cheap though...

# his games console...
...is basically the number one toy for the richest man ever.

And I'm jumping on that bandwagon.
