really really want to get a house soon. What is the best time
for buyers? end of December? mid January?
\_ Uhm, did you read your own links? The builder they quote in the

vaguely resembling normal uptime, too! Ping root@csua.org if you

\_ Thanks, jordan!

uptimes.
\_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
\_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has

I'm wondering what the best alternatives for virtualization are, and
how best to cut my teeth on messing with non-linux platforms (or I
guess interesting stuff on Linux would work too). Right now I've got
FreeBSD7 running on KVM on my home computer (on a Core 2 Quad), and am
