Well slackware is now runnig the news server. the irc server i left as
the sole fedora box, i mean its only irc <G> only takes 40 seconds to
upload and recompile the daemon, interesting you run the RH9 kernel which
yes like you said is still solid as, I am thinking of of putting 2.6.2 on
it, I mean it cant fsck it up any worse than it i now <G>
