I haven't clicked on the deal yet but I suspect that the fly is tigerdirect.com.

:: New Server

The new server works fine. It is still up and rock steady. The work room 
workstation boots really fast. Kevin and Dale were impressed. So was I.

:: FreeBox Connection Problem

I tested FreeBox DHCP at the work table, and it worked fine. However, I 
couldn't ping out from the FreeBoxes I tested with alphanumeric or hard 
IPs. I tried several gateway IPs, but none worked so I quit testing and 
continued installing Vector Linux.

There were no DNS or ping issues at the LTSP workstation or the server 
console.

:: Refurb God

Kevin declared himself the refurb God. He repaired a string of 
misbehaving Dell computers for Dale and me. Actually, I don't think 
Kevin said "refurb."

Dale and I pointed out the downside of declaring oneself God...in the 
kindest terms of course. ;^)

:: Best PC Deal Ever?

TigerDirect.com is offering a barebones kit which is seductively 
appealing at $399.99. Nicely upgradable. No OS.

Is there a fly in this ointment?
