Title: NEW BOX OF SLACKNESS!
Post by: rabbit 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'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.

Run a magnet over the harddrives.

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.
