Well they are both Dell Precision 380-s, bought from Dell at the same
time. We configure our machines by making a master image and
installing them on the various lab computers. They were loaded with
the same image. Now the only thing I can't be sure about (since the
image was made on a different kind of hardware) is whether kudzu ran
on both machines in exactly the same way. I did not do the
installation myself.

Now I must confess that the result of doing a df on both machines
gives the install space as having a different size value which I can not
explain.

As for DontZap my machine at home does not work correctly when the
DontZap is not explicitly there.
