[rescue] FDDI primer

Today a lot of talk about FDDI versus ethernet and how great FDDI is...

So, it's got me wondering... if I wanted to go to a FDDI setup, how
would I?

Do people have recommendations on stuff?

I figure things like:

What card should I look for for my:
	PC (PCI, ISA, PCMCIA??)?
	Sbus Sparc?
	PCI Sparc?
	SGI?
	Alpha?

What do I need?  Just a FDDI hub?  Cabling?

Just some thoughts, cause running FDDI in my house would be cool, but
I UNDERSTAND ethernet and can get the stuff easily (and cheaply).  I'd
hate for my ignorance towards FDDI keep me from using it (I'd rather it
be the expense =] ).
