Hook up a home router to your ISP.

Most ISPs can be configured to work with a router.

Once a router is set up, it is easy to have a linux or MacOS box connect to the Internet.

Well, I've been tooling around with linux for the past year and a half. I've tried SUSE, ubuntu, debian, gentoo, etc...
I finally got fed up with all the bloat (especially for SUSE and Ubuntu), so I tried DSL, just as an experiment; I [SHOUT] LOVE [/SHOUT] DSL...right now I'm using DSL on a 366Mhz 20Gb HDD 64Mb RAM box with a gig of swap...I just load my entire music collection into the playlist in xmms, select random + repeat, hit play, and relax...ahhhh. I've even got xmms to start automatically on boot.
Now, if I could only get myDSL extensions working...

-Matthew

EDIT: Yay!! I finally read the wiki on myDSL extensions...and I love them. I've got everything from blender to bugsquish to wmbubble! Yeah. I'm so stoked.

This distro can run my compaq armada 1700 PII 233 Mhz 96 Mo 3 Go as none distro or OS can do. fast and beautiful.
I installed it with boot parameters :
lang=fr noacpi nolapic noapic fb=800x600 noscsi noagp

still looking how to configure sound and Realtek 8180L wifi. everyting works great otherwise and with this old computerit's amazing.

I got DSL because:
- I wanted to run a portable OS
- I like Linux
- I like Linux
- It does what I need.
