So it\’s the beginning of the long weekend and you\’re afraid you\’ll get bored after all the drinking and shopping (I know I will). If you need a project to do, build a router for $50. All you need is a cheap 486 (I\’m sure everybody has those lying around), 2 network cards, and a few other parts. The cool thing is, I\’m taking a computer networks class this quarter and I mostly understood what the writer was talking about. And in the project class for the series, we have to configure routers and switches and whatever.
