Up until four trying to get services together. At some point man disappeared and ifup/ifdown stopped working, with ifconfig gone after a reboot. Did an extremely minimal reinstall and ^c'ed out of the setup script that runs on first boot. Gave root a password and intalled only the shit that the system needs. Everying's on, everything I know how to configure works. Everything I don't.... doesn't. Hopefully Eric or Bryan will be able to look at it at some point in the next 36 hours.

On the upside, I don't have to worry about crap like dialing in to the modem bank anymore.

Hopefully routing and everything else will be Done at some point tonight or tomorrow, and I can start enjoying this whole broadband thing. In the meantime, I have a serious coffee hangover and feel like ass. Whee.
