13 That's my thinking too.  I think most all of them are OS neutral.  They
14 just have a web page to manage them and that's it.  I'm getting giddy
15 about that sort of speed coming here tho.  Not long ago, you had to be
16 in town close to a provider and pay a arm and leg to get that sort of
17 speed.  Now, a little guy can have it.  One that lives out in the sticks
18 at that.  I'm going to see if I can get more info about the box I
19 connect too.  That'll give me something to google for and find info about.

21 I did think of one thing tho.  I got to find a network card that is
22 faster.  The one I have now tops out at 100MBs.  It's a old school
23 type.  I'll have to get a fancy 1GB version I guess.  Hmmmm, I think my
24 router is 1GB ready.  I may have to recheck that.

26 Michael is posting more info on this.  Even tho the alternative has
27 systemd in the name, I don't think it is coded by the systemd devs.  It
28 just happens to work with and be tailored around systemd.
