you need to reboot if it's being used as a workstation?
\_ Occasionally you will run into the Windows NT syndrome of the system
needing a reboot for a system software patch - I'd say about once
every couple of months on a stable release, and once or twice a
month on a new one. Other than that, I have never seen a piece of

and I then use readcd on a linux box to verify the md5sum of the
burned cd, the md5sum of the CD doesn't match the md5sum of the

burns it or something? Seems strange.
