I spent about two hours last night installing Slackware on my Celeron 350 Compaq. I got it booted up, everything working, fired up Lynx to verify that Apache was running, and was all set. "Allright," I said to myself, "now I just need to connect it to the network and I'll be in fat city!" I looked around the room for a network cable, and then said "... fuck" because my basement isn't wired. So here are my options:
- Snake a cable through the walls to the basement. Spend hours trying and end up in a corner crying.
- Install my wireless PCI card in the Compaq. Enjoy having multiple connected users cause multiple dropped connections.
- Bring the Compaq upstairs and hide it in the couch. Hope Annie doesn't notice the noise.
So you see, I'm boned.
