Greeting-

Just discovered a difference in network performance between the Pi and
the Bone.

prd7 is on the same 10Mb switch as the Pi and it is on a different
switch than the bone.

I guess the bone has the better networking hardware.

Now if only the bone could use usb I would be a happy camper!

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and
strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a
woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound
