Back to the future...

My centericq ICQ client just reported the following information for one of my contacts: "Online -9 seconds"... Kinda strange in my humble opinion...

(Open)WRT

I bought a Linksys WRT54GS a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, it's already one of the new series (v4) which only has 4MB Flash and 16MB RAM. However, it is still able to run OpenWRT which I just installed a couple of minutes ago and which runs just great. Installation was as easy as browsing to the Linksys web administration tool and doing a firmware upgrade.

To this day I had my notebook directly connected to my DSL modem, which is definitely okay for a network consisting of only one computer, but I didn't like it. And I can use WLAN now, which is a huge benefit for my 25 square meters appartment ;-)

Having a fully functional GNU/Linux distribution on my router is just great. Well, lots of people I know are already using OpenWRT for a long time and this is nothing special any more, but I like doing all the configuration on the command line.
