And I have a sensibly-working PC myself, too, which always helps.  We have our Debian package cache online, although it&#8217;s open to debate whether it&#8217;s actually worthwhile since we now have a 100-megabit link to the University&#8217;s Debian mirror \ud83d\ude42 &#8230; also, I configured the switches so that all the ports connected to individual machines (i.e. almost all of them) have no trunking, no channeling and &#8216;portfast&#8217; set.  This makes each machine&#8217;s connection start up quickly and is essential for making Netware\/IPX work &#8211; I had a &#8216;heads up&#8217; about this trick a while ago and it&#8217;s certainly helpful.<\/li>\n<li>Since I&#8217;ve been concentrating on the network setup, I still haven&#8217;t unpacked any of the large crates of stuff that needs to go into the office: the office is pretty full and there are ten crates outside the office door which need to be unpacked too.  I believe the empty crates are to be collected by the removals company on Wednesday, so that doesn&#8217;t give much time &#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I will try to get some pictures of the new place up here soon.<\/p>\n<p><b>Update 21:30<\/b> Ooh, and it looks like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.debian.org\/News\/2005\/20050606\">Debian Sarge<\/a> has finally released.
