	OK, this text is dedicated to all the Liam ass motherfuckers that have
cable/dsl switches and think they are "l33t hax0rz" since they have 2 or more
computers on it.

	I have used dial-up connection for a real long time. I waited for
broadband to come around my area, be it Cable or Dsl I didn't give a fuck what
came first it was first come first...I'm getting it. Anyhow I ended up getting a
RoadRunner Connection. I hooked up one of my favorite computers to the cable
connection via cable modem. I always used a Software Firewall for dial-up. So the
Software firewall was always running waiting for something to hit my ports I'm
not going to say what Firewall I was running since everyone complains and argues
that they have the best fucking Software Firewall on Earth. I'm sick of that
shit. So anyways, within one day I had like over a hundred IP's doing different
scans/attacks on my system a day. I even had my Software firewall get shut down
on me a few times, due to really hardcore fucking fool. Well enough of that.
Anyways, I was enjoying my Broadband Connection so much, I said to myself, "I
have to get all my boxes online, I need all of them online."  Anyways, I looked
into all those cheep dsl/cable switches. I got a switch for $99 and that seems
to work fine but I noticed that my connection speed wasn't up to snuff anymore.
I blamed my ISP, so I called them up. The tech asked me a few questions and said.
"Aha. It's the switch, you're not the first person to have this happen to." I was
like, "oh, really." He also told me for 5 bucks more a month I can get a second
dynamic IP address. I was almost suckered into the 5 extra bucks a month. I also
asked him, "well, I don't want to spend 5 more dollars a month, Is there anything
else I can do to get my other computers online." he told me to read my policy.
After I read it, it stated that if I wanted like 5+ computers online it was 5
dollars a computer for each one. That must have included a dynamic IP for each
box. Or pay 80-120 dollars a month for a business account, which was the same
connection speed as I was already getting for 40 dollars a month. 2 mbs download
and 340 kbs upload. I told him that that was jerkin my chain, and ended the
conversation with him. I knew the tech didn't have any answer for me and was
trying to get me to spend more money for the same shit.

	 I started surfing the web for a perfect linux distro to make a
firewall/gateway router setup that I could build from spare parts around my
computer room. First I set up a 200mhz box with 2 nic cards on it and freebsd
as the OS. That was cool at first but then realized that it was a waist of a box
to have a great working full linux distro box go to waist just sitting their as a
gateway/router. Even thought that this was a kick ass setup, I wanted to make a
smaller box for a router. I looked around the net and came up which a few cool
linux router floppy distro's and thought I would try a couple of them. I started
off trying these cool little floppy distro's and fell in love with mini linux
distro`s.  After 2 months of playing around, one day my browser landed on
WWW.freeSCO.ORG this distro claims it had not only firewall/gateway server but
it had tons of services that can be run from this little floppy disk. I was like
no fucking way. I started on d/l it after I read the whole web site. It was still
fairly a new distro then with very little support on the web page. I dusted of an
old COMPAQ I hate Compaq's by the way. But anyhow. This box was a 33MHz with 20
meg hard drive8 megs of ram, I beefed it up with a Pentium overdrive processor
250 meg hard drive and 32 bytes of ram and a internal fan for the newly added
heat from the overdrive. I added in 2 nic cards and a 56kbs true US Robotics
modem not on that 3com manufactured after they took over. I had my Freesco box
up and running within 15 minutes I was still little rusty on the knowledge and
the know-hows the ins and outs of my newly found Internet router/server setup.
I spent hours researching as much as I could on Freesco, by the way Freesco, the
name stand for FREE cISCO. After I learned some install tricks from other freesco
users I had my little 486 screaming as a web server, a ftp server, a time server,
a dhcp server, oh ya and the most important part is that I could share internet
usage on my LAN without degrading my bandwidth. I can have 5 to 10 people on my
LAN playing Quake2/Quake3 on the Internet all of use having 50-ping time or less
all at the same time I could never do that with a dsl/cable switch, this was the
proof of the pudding for me. That Freesco was a leet setup for leet people....
hehehe. Anyways, My Freesco Floppy Distribution now runs on my hard drive since
I customized the crap out of it. Anyways, it all comes down to that those cheap
ass cable/dsl switches are OK since you can set it up in 5 minutes or less. And
you can have a little safety but most people don't even password protect them.
ya you fucking lamers. Password protects your routers. Dumb asses. Anyways, if
your looking for a leet ass way to have LAN parties, be it gaming or hacking,
then a Linux Floppy distro might be good for you. I love my freesco box. It is
what I like to call fuckin-high-speed-shit... as in real fucking leet. My little
freesco box does more in a minute then most peoples computers do all day
long..... And oh ya I forgot to mention that the Freesco is more configurable as
a router then a dsl/cable router. It goes along ways. You can customize the
distro for your own usage. Oh, the other cool thing I could do that switch
couldn't do is dial into my LAN and get true 56k-speed connection to my gateway,
not 53,333 kbs I connect at 56kbs from a remote location. Like a mini ISP for
hackers. 

	I hear there is a new version of freesco coming out soon. I can't wait
till the day.... Everytime I See a ol 486 kicking around I Smile to myself and
think "Ya, that would make one fucking hell of a FREESCO BOX".+.+.+.+.+
