IIRC floppies run at 150Kbs! Hard drives now days run
at a MINIMUM of 33 mb/s, most 66 to over 100 mbs.
Divide 33,000,000 by 150,000 and you get 220 times
faster for the 33mb/s hard drive faster than a
floppy!! Plus the other peoples comments still
apply..too small, and undependable.
Now days, 33m

Yeah, Gentoo is great, and I still use it sometimes when I have a free
weekend to compile everything :-P The following weekend I can
actually use

I haven't jumped into the Gentoo pool yet, but I'd like to give it a try

I'm sure Gentoo is loads of fun if you're a hobbiest of some kind,
but I doubt it will gain any serious traction in the corporate realm.
So if your goal is marketable skills, Gentoo is clearly not the the
way to go. Configurability can sometimes be a minus, as it adds to

If you're doing that, I recommend looking at OpenVPN. Compared to
something like FreeS/WAN its a freaking cake walk to setup. It still
takes time + effort + reading, but its not THAT bad. And it works on
windows, mac, and linux.

I have set up Samba before, but find I can do most of the "sharing" I
need between Windows and Linux using Putty (on Windows) and SSH.
Putty is a free SSH implementation for Windows and can be found at
