i am a bit of a computer guru.. i was awestruck when i heard saw that on the website. there must be a way around the software bull.
i am going to use my router anyways, to hook my computer up to my printer and server. i built a server out of an old compaq presario case. it's got a 2.6 ghz processor and three 40 gigabyte hard drives

it's running ubuntu feisty... but i may switch to freebsd. i really don't use my server much for anything other than data backup and file storage. i probably won't connect it to the internet. hell i won't even hook up a keyboard or mouse or monitor up to it! i will just vnc into it... we'll see what those IT assholes have to say about that!
