	i'm like 9.99-bar % sure sshd is up; i did ti the long way by
	sh /etc/rc.d/ssh restart 
	and so it has to have exec.  i  just poked around on google
	and there is some noise about ssh failing from outside.  

	i'm downloading a cd of 8.0 (i386)! of the Real-Thing: freebsd.
	it should be about an hour.  the main//only reason i messed
	with linux was that for reasons unknown [completely], FBSD
	messed up on streams.  but in just the past several weeks i'm
	able to play audio and video streams here on my old '03 Dell.
	i've got 7.3 here, but using firefox3: yes.  i use konqueror
	because it has text/speech builtin.  on the kde4, i see that 
	konq4 seems ready to play streams.  nutshell, no more going
	to/fro.
