My Home Network

My home network is made up of single desktop machines, running Debian GNU/Linux, and an EEE PC laptop. The desktop machine is on all the time, and the laptop is primarily used when I want to sit in front of the TV and work, or in bed!

The machines are:

birthday.my.flat

This is the main desktop machine, which has:

  • 4Gb memory.
  • 2 x 500Gb drives.
  • AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 425 Processor

It was purchaed around 9th March 2010, from Novatech.

lappy.my.flat

This is a low-end EEE PC.

My internet gateway is an 8 port Linksys FEFSR81 router, it is small, quiet, blue, and mostly reliable.
