hehe, not my fault, thrust into a workplace where everyone runs linux,
they didn't realize what kinda hardware they have.

my "stock" pc came with:

pnp soundcard -> (kissing Luigi's feet right now, thank you! driver
kicks butt!)

atapi cdrom and ide harddrive EWWWWW....
and that icky 905b card....

heh, be careful when you buy Dell folks :)

nice monitors though.  actually kinda fast machine, just "sorta" budget
equipment.

oh and another affliction... we are planning to go to NIS+ and i'm quite
sure freebsd doesn't have client support yet... hmmm... maybe i could
convince them to let me be the NIS master on my 10bT card :)

*sigh*
