Yay.. am finally getting rtns this week.

For those of you who dont know what rtns is..

Its the machine where I tried Linux for the 1st time.
Its the machine which served as the router+DNS for pes.edu for 3 years
Its the machine that was running Slack 96 (kernel 2.0.34) no issues what so ever
Its the machine which took infinite power failures but still came back up peacefully running
Its the machine which made me and sush (khorgath) shift to linux completely.
Its RTNS

Even in the 2.4.x days, it still rulez.

    Think about it. I respect rtns. A lot. And I respect the matrox card far too much as well. A very good way, to honour this card, as I see right now, would be to put the matrox in it.

    But then again, I don’t know that I wont build a shrine for the matrox and leave it at that as well. Too much danger putting important things in kallu’s hands. 😉
