Got my hard drive on Monday, so by now I’m pretty settled in. I know it sounds like I’m moving to a new house or something, but for the past two weeks I’ve been using Linux on my server, and I’ve felt like I’ve had a bag over my head. This is absolutely nothing against [...]
Well, sort of.
I’ve got Windows installed and got a lot done as far as updates and installing apps I use most like mIRC and Firefox. And about Firefox; you realize how awesome the way it does profiles is when you’re restoring one and Firefox is completely back the way you had it, extensions, cookies, bookmarks, [...]
Don’t buy it! I know it’s a very popular router, but don’t. Just read this thread. There are at least 30 people just in that thread complaining of the same problem and I just discovered I was one of them.
