Since you're already silkscreening this on the chassis of your systems, clearly this ship is well out of the harbor, but that confusion seems like a completely legitimate concern. Seems like it could easily result in management interfaces getting plugged into the wrong networks. Also, I gotta say, it really shouldn't be LAN on Motherboard, since it's just an adapter, not actually a whole lan. It should clearly be NIC on Motherboard, or "nom". And then you could silkscreen lolcats on to the servers, which I think would be a win for everyone. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@mattdm.org> Senior Systems Architect -- Instructional & Research Computing Services Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
