NEW BOX OF SLACKNESS!
« on: April 25, 2005, 06:10:45 pm »
Okay, so in exchange for sticking some old HD in a new comp, my friend has agreed to give the the old tower as compensation.  I have the HD's I want to use, but I have two questions:
1. They have shit on them.  What's the easiest way to get it all off?
2. How do I get on the internet from Slackware if I have an MN-500 (Micro$hit) router?  I've heard that M$ routers don't like non-Win32 systems.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I'm pretty sure they work.  Stealth used Fedora and never said he couldn't connect to the internet with it.  And if its that big of a problem buy a Cisco or a Linksys :).

Stealth has a Linksys AFAIK, and it's not my choice of what router we have, it's my dad's, and he's stubborn, and I'm poor.

Google ads, Rabbit. You remember this discussion, don't you?

*cough*PROXIES*cough*
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Run a magnet over the harddrives.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

A router should be a router no matter who makes it.  They all conform to a specific protocol (tcp/ip) and a specific function (LAN <==> WAN).

You realize HD work by moving shit around with a rediculously strong magnet?  That trick is a myth.
@iago (the *only* helpful person past RoMi): thanks.
