I've been listening to you for quite some time. You're a gold mine of
information. I appreciate all you do for the linux community.
I've recently been experiencing trouble with my current gigabit D-Link
unmanaged switch. I recall you do not like Ubiquity switches, so I
looked up some on Mikrotik's site. I wonder if I can get your thoughts
on these two:
https://mikrotik.com/product/CRS125-24G-1S-IN
https://mikrotik.com/product/CSS326-24G-2SplusRM
Pricing on them seems very good.
One concern I have at this point is that it may be too difficult
configuring the thing.
thanks much,

Jim Whitehurst email to Red Hatters on Red Hat — Last October, we announced our intention to join forces with IBM, with the aim of becoming the world’s top hybrid cloud provider. Since then, the promise IBM chairman, president, and CEO Ginni Rometty and I made has not changed. In fact, our commitment to that vision has grown - Red Hat will remain a distinct unit in IBM as we work to help customers deliver any app, anywhere, realizing the true value of the hybrid cloud. This morning, we can share that the most significant tech acquisition of 2019 has officially closed and we can now begin moving forward. Orca Screen Reader

Keeping the Past Alive
EmuTOS is a Free operating system for computers based on Motorola 68000 or ColdFire microprocessors. It features functionality similar to TOS, which powered the Atari ST and its successors between 1985 and 1994. EmuTOS can run on real hardware, either as ROM replacement or from floppy. Of course, it also runs happily on any Atari emulator such as ARAnyM, Hatari, or Steem SSE.
