I have a couple extra Red Hat 5.2 CD's - bring me a blank
on Tuesday and we can trade.  If you want SuSE, I'll bring
plent of those.

WARNING:  I set up SuSE as a router for my LAN on Road Runner.
It's DHCP client does not work well.  In fact, after a few
hours, it will drop all routing on that interface.  Red Hat's
DHCP client works fine.  I tried to use Red Hat's DHCP client
on the SuSE system, but did not succeed.
