A New Zealander of my acquaintance maintains that there are native Australians who actually live in Australia, rather than just in the strip around the coast.

Nope, that's a step back in time to the max . . .

Let's see . . . DAP has enough overhead to scatter the routers even more than they already are. Are you moving to Suse Enterprise or the actual Novell branded stuff?

Re: gotta love this

It's Novell branded stuff. Network stuff, Client for Windows, and Zenworks. That zenworks is my favorite. It goes for updates in the middle of a damn simulation.

Yes, as the world converts away from Novell, we go to it.

Sorry about your thread Bubba.

The majority of the population live near the coast as the inner parts are quite dry and arrid. It is true that there is not a lot in the middle if Australia.

You looking at moving here?
