Our Networking Story

[Dale Amon]

The only feature I hold near and dear is that I be able
to ssh into a server in a rack 8000 miles away, fiddle
with /etc/network/interfaces if needed, and then reliably 
ifdown/ifup one of god knows how many connections (I often
work with machines that have 8 or even more hardware ethers,
not to mention ethn:m's.

Just a begging note to think of the systems guys who are
making bulk changes using scripts that execute scripts on
5, 10, a hundred or a thousand server (I know guys who do
that).

Lots of us only use a GUI as a place to let us keep 40
xterm's available...
