Ok guys.... Har har... This thread has gone waaaay to far. Let's squash
it before I start getting calls from the Kleenex company re:
sponsorship.

<sniffle! sniffle!>

Let's get back on topic and start talking about linux...

Say, would anyone out there happen to have any of the following items?

K6-2 processors
SDRAM for older computers
Hard drives of 2+ GB
Older tape backup equipment

I'm trying to start a small office here as a project for my college
business mgmt class to prove how linux can significantly reduce costs.
Unfortunately...seeing as how books + tuition is kicking my rear end I
could really benefit by some cheap older parts to go with the ones I
already have or some donated ones that are just sucking up space in
someone's closet. My budget isn't that great...maybe about US$30 - $50
tops for this project.

That would be painful -- using a pointer for that operation?
It's, like lots of things, probably traceable to a DNS issue. He should
try 'dig' instead of nslookup. It's difficult to run nslookup anyway,
since... well, never mind.

Just hope it doesn't return anything even remotely like a tarball. No
telling what that would contain.
