Re: eth1: error

["Ray Holtz" <ray@rayholtz.com>]

No, I havn't changed the drivers, and the kernel is still Linux
<servername> 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 athlon
i386 GNU/Linux.  So that hasn't changed in over a year, and until 3 weeks
ago it hasn't had any internet access so I havn't been updating any
software on it either.  Basically I got it setup and it ran nicely. 
Should I go ahead and update the kernel and all the other RPMs that I can
through apt-get?
