For those of you in an admin role you may sympathize with this. I just had to change the IP addresses on a series of radios linking the sites of the company I work at.
Because we only have windows I had to take a laptop up to the radio repeater site and use it to change each ip address. The problem was that windows (w2k) will allow you to change your ip address once but if you try it again it prompts for a reboot.... So in short each time I had to change my IP so I could connect to each radios subnet... I had to reboot.... grrrr.
Now if I had linux on the laptop the job would have taken considerably less time because I wouldn't have had to reboot once... viv la revolution.... Linux is a better tool for admin than window imo.
