Doorstop Linux

[Thiers Botelho]

|I have this dead box in my room with FC1 installed on it.  For some
|reason, the door keeps sliding shut, even though the box is sorta
|heavy.  Maybe it's because I have wood floors, I'm not sure... I'm sorta
|a n00b.

The Fedora distribution is not geared for doorstop purposes. As a 
download-only distribution, it doesn't possess sufficient mass to achieve 
this kind of functionality.

I'd recommend that you install RHEL instead. As it comes in a heavy 
cardboard box loaded with printed manuals, CD cases and reference cards, 
it's the most perfect fit for your doorstop needs.

As RHEL comes in 3 different flavors, my suggestion is that you choose the 
AS version. It not only has the highest and heaviest manual count, but it 
also offers, as its webpage states, _the highest levels of support_ which 
provide substantial additional weight.

An additional (and optional) procedure might further enhance your doorstop 
results. Since you now have an useless FC box (computer box), you might 
consider positioning it directly atop the RHEL box (cardboard box). This 
would give you unsurpassed doorstopping capabilities, and as an added 
bonus it might as well completely block the passage to anyone wishing to 
enter or leave the data processing complex. Take THAT for physical 
security !!!

Just my R$0,02 (brazilian centavos) worth.
