Unfortunately the sickness was put on hold for sunday while I went on my first long motorbike ride down south from perth (about 500kms) man my arse is sore! Can't wait till next year when I can get a big bike (have to spend 12months on a 250cc bike before you can ride anything bigger).

Anyway I have put together two of the Redback crunchers both at 3.2GHz (atm will overclock more later! ) they are running Ubuntu 8.10 atm and as a Windoze user this has been and still is a very steep learning curve. Installation is better I think than Windoze but getting apps installed and running etc

They are both sitting on my coffee table in front of the TV atm (where I do most of my builds lol). The HDDs are 36GB raptors! all I could find in my house! lol

I will post more pics and info tonight when I get home from work. Currently I need to work out how to network them from the garage to my study and as I am renting there is no hope of installing the cat cables in the roof walls etc. I'm thinking ethernet over power but dont know how well it will work and connect a 10MB hub where the crunchers are.
Any ideas suggestions?
I bought a cheap usb wireless stick (b+g) but it wont connect to my current setup for some reason, so I could get another wireless router but that would probably lead to more trouble maybe an AP? Dunno!??!?!?!
