I think my boss might notice the change on my desktop! Right now my Linux
box has an inconspicuous screen saver and I always SSH to it from the other
(Win2K) computer in my cube... Never have to look like I stop working. ;^)

I've apt-getted my way to MySQL happiness. So far, so good. I've had really
