I would say we should attempt to plan something similar to what we did
the other day, but it will have more of a Linux/Network bent to it. We need
to be able to look at the different bits and pieces and what each does.

there is in it. I think that there is more to be done, it is more than anything
else a launching platform to build up a better and faster network.
