Great fun to use it. However, I have to say that networking (ethernet) is not so mature on Linux as on *BSD (we are also using NetBSD 1.0 and FreeBSD 2.x). Especially when you are trying to merge with an existing heterogenous TCP/IP, NFS network (SunOS/Solaris/Irix/HP/...). But, hopefully, it will become more and more mature over time.
