A few days ago I got the notion to replace the OS running on the home server, which was running Windows NT 4.0. You know, run Linux, Samba, update the software, do something new. In the process of the Linux install, it didn't recognize the hard drives in the server.
Several hours later, the hard drives were formatted and empty, and I couldn't get anything to install properly. Not even Windows NT 4.0......
This was bad because the box acted as the proxy to the Internet, and now the whole house was off the Net. I broke down yesterday and bought a Linksys wireless router, hooked up the DSL, got it configured, and voila, the house is back in the 21st century.
Today I bought a wifi card, and I'm now updating my blog from the comfort of the living room. Cozy fire in the fireplace, etc.... really cool.
Isn't technology wonderful? ;-)
