“Renaming” ethernet adapters in Debian

I have a Dell PowerEdge 1950 server running Debian Sarge. It recently experienced the joy of a motherboard replacement (which will hopefully make the hardware faults go away).

Car Shopping – Day 2 – Done

Well, I had grand plans to go car shopping again today. I was planning to go test drive a Ford Focus, Acura TSX, Toyota Prius and then the Honda Civic Hybrid (again). Well, it didn’t work out quite as I planned. I started out at the Toyota dealership, and that’s basically as far as I…
