Never would have guessed; udev would switch the NICs when I wasn't lookin'.
[To keep a long story long]:
I resurrected 2 computers for a friend / neighbor.
One had an Intel Celeron with a dead MB. So I dug up an old used replacement [Soyo SY-K7VTA] mainboard with an Athlon 1G and it was a pretty decent system [memory = 768M DDR RAM]. (Strictly a low budget operation.)

Linux, it's hard to use, it lacks proprietary Windows applications, it doesn't come pre-installed on the notebook I bought.... etc.

Novell enters into a partnership with Microsoft. As a part of that partnership there
are some agreements that are made to protect the customer, both Novell's and
Microsoft's. The agreements are that Novell will covenant not to sue Microsoft
customers that might infringe on Novell's IP (patents) and that Microsoft will
covenant not to sue Novell (e.g. SUSE Enterprise) customers that might infringe on Microsoft's IP (patents). As a part of the partnership, Novell will receive payment from Microsoft for a fixed number of SUSE Enterprise licenses and Microsoft will use these as needed when a customer solution requires Linux. Thus SUSE Enterprise becomes Microsoft's choice of preferred Linux. However, Novell is not buying some number of fixed licenses of Microsoft product, but instead, will pay a percentage of the sale of SUSE Enterprise to Microsoft. And that's what has caused most of the problems with this partnership. A large scale migraine for Novell. Possibly life threatening.

Microsoft and Linux and between the concepts of
proprietary software and open source.

Just Testing. A popular phrase when people are making changes to system configurations and software, especially when the platforms are "live".
Even if you disagree with such cavalier testing, the point is to test. An advantage to the "release early and often" paradigm is that bugs can be discovered faster. The disadvantage is that you may cause things to go down... sometimes in a very, very bad way.
