My aDSL line is installed. BROADBAND! I'm addicted :) This is the good news. The bad, bad, bad news is that I'm using an internal aDSL modem (3COM HomeConnect internal PCI), that doesn't have drivers for Linux. The ATM stack is entirely in software, and 3COM doesnt released the specs. :-/. I'll order my external adsl modem ASAP.

Adding the strange list hardware list that claudio started, there is a lot of Palms, Newtons, Some really old portables (some 386's, some 486's), some VAIOs & Toshibas, MSX, Amigas, a dual Pentium Pro with a girl's name, and a lot of another bunch.

I made this week an interesting filter for an ezmlm list: This list now only accept signed (GPG) mails. Interesting. Oh: It's FREEZE time for Conectiva Linux 6.0. I've found a ugly bug in PHP 3.0.17: If you compile it with --enable-versioning, the modules (mysql, pgsql, imap, ldap, etcetera) doesnt work. :-/

In the mean time, we (eitch made it) published this week an interview with the Debian-BR people. Good. Take a look.
