[ILUG] Pre configured boxes

[John_White at dell.com]

Well I wouldn't like to think of it as Duelling. Paul's been very helpful to
me on ILUG in the past (for which I'm very thankful), I just wanted to make
sure that people knew . . .

if at the beginning of this year someone said two folks from compaq and
dell would be duelling on ilug over who had better raid support you'd
have said they were off their rocker.  granted, both paul and john are
frequent tech contributors and not marketting folks, but it's pretty
neat to see!

thanks guys!

wonder if noting gateway's lack of linux options will generate mail from
them?
