In fact I’ve used a 100 foot fiber optic DisplayPort cable that I “just bought” on Amazon, admittedly for a LOT of money (like, I think it was about $100 USD, 3 years ago or so).
Whoa, this sent me back. I cut my teeth on Red Hat Linux 5.2 (pre-RHEL), and I remember when they first added Bluecurve… oh jeez, this means im old, doesn’t it?
