Project X :Admin Logs

Project X : Linux Box + Windows Box + Everything Box

I got myself an old pc from some geezer on eBay the other day, a P300 and a P800…..with some bits and bobs to it. Why the heck I do that is part of my Network Storage Project , “Project X” for March 2006.

Partly I need the old pc to let my little daughter Athira to play with it, by loading some educational programs loaded thru the network, thus why I am eager for my NSLU2 unit to come back and load up the linux OS on it. partly cos� want my FREECOM 80GB to be useful than to sit there and needed to be plugged to a pc or something.

Whats the plan now?
-Check the PC configs and see if I need to do some scavanging ..namely the USB2 ports & network port.
-Compatibility list for UBUNTU or any of the linux flavors
-finding myself an EXTREMELY LONG (10M?)UTP cable to hook that up to my pcs thru a hub or which ever.
-Understanding the Linux Install Process

and then….back to “Plan W” - ie updating ALL THE WEBSITES.
