Put together an order for Ena's new computer, but I can't deliver it until Monday because the fiscal year ends on June 30. Set up Debrah's new computer. Installed Red Hat 7.3 on Chris's old computer, wiping the hard drive clean in the process. Even though he has a workaround for rebus going down, we still want to get him on a box that works. Red Hat 7.3 was much, much nicer than my previous experience installing Red Hat 5.0 (I think it was 5.0) back in the luxurious but freezing Adobe server room in Seattle. The only part I got stuck was figuring out my "network address" and "broadcast address" which Windows doesn't use. I eventually found a resource on the Web that told me how to calculate these values from the IP address and subnet mask, both of which I knew.
