New laptop, new network
Today I bought a new laptop in anticipation of using it at my new job. Oh, and because buying a new laptop is fun, obviously. In order to connect both my desktop and my laptop to internet I also had to make some changes to my network setup, including the installation of a new ADSL router. To make things a bit more interesting I also wanted to leave Win XP on the laptop, but make Gentoo Linux the main installation. I’m happy to see that I’m typing this on my old desktop which is still connected to the net (and in fact serving this blog to you), while my laptop is happily compiling some Gentoo packages in the meantime. Many things could have gone wrong this evening, but none did, and I’m happy.
