[Imc-tech] active software update?

[Mike Perry]

What exactly are you looking to do tonight? I'm going to be there, and
I'm quite experianced with Linux. 

A friend of mine is downloading the RH7.1 media today and burning a
copy, but it might not finish by 6pm..

What do you need this particular machine for? If it's just routing, I
can help you do a minimal install and set it up in about a half hour.
I've done this many times before.
