Hello Keith, Thanks very much for your thoughtful response ;). Regarding the sudo command, she uses this laptop for her academics and, thus, expects it to "just work." Xubuntu has been good at this thus far, so I was hoping more of the same. The better Linux does at "just working," the easier it is for me to keep Microsoft out of the house. -Adam On Jan 3, 2008 8:13 PM, Keith Wright <kwright@keithdiane.us> wrote:

I can only bring the interface up via running "sudo ifup ra0". My wife's probably not going to go for that ;).
If I were your boss, I would demand that you document all changes to distribution defaults, but why would your wife object to putting "ifup ra0" in one of those shell files that get run by root when you boot?
In other words, I have no idea what you are talking about, or the answer to your question, but I can keep the conversation going with stupid comments until somebody else comes along.
Does anyone have any ideas about what plumbing I am missing to get automatic configuration?
Of course. If you want true, real, distinct, coherent, concrete, clear, clever, or usable ideas... good luck!
