Agreed. Well worth a try with Fedora. Raspbian is a long way behind, so it is not easy to test recent fixes. Most recent data from Adam; his Raspberry Pi is being connected by wireless to one router with IP of 192.168.0.1, then connected by ethernet to a physically different router with same IP of 192.168.0.1. I'm thinking that's an exciting and interesting thing to do, and I'm fascinated to learn how it will pan out. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
