The machine currently hosts CVS, and I plan to add FTP and mirroring eventually. I would like to add a PCI Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (NIC) to the computer and was wondering what cards other people are using and how they liked them. Any comments and/or recommendations would be appreciated. TIA, David
