[SLE] Wake-on-LAN feature ... What is it? Useful?
Greetings! I normally use Netgear FA310TX network cards in my system. When a store that I get my NICs at ran out of Netgear because of a promotional sale, I got SMC EZNET-10/100 for the same price ($20USD). SMC had a real nice package: a NIC with a wake-on-LAN connector and cable, a 6-foot CAT5 network cable and a Turbo Linux CD. Killed two birds since I didn't have to buy an extra cable. I had previously heard of wake-on-LAN, but I'm not sure what it actually does beyond taking the computer out of stand-by. What does wake-on-LAN do in practical terms? Is this a useful feature for a Linux system, either as a workstation or server? Thanks!

Can you use it for Linux for say a print server?
