There are 8 or more Gentoo boxen running on this LAN with the above and none of the issues that come up daily now in this ML. Think very carefully before you "switch to eudev". It's not even stable, nor proven, and will surely result in you losing much more than a little uptime. Think hair, time, serenity. ;) Bruce -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ support@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
