<p>Funny, I had this draft post hanging around for a while, and then I came across this exact router configuration at work.  Turns out it was easier, faster and cheaper to buy 2 routers, flash the new firmware, and set up a point-to-point wireless connection into the staging area than it was to rely on the company&#8217;s IT department to do it.</p>
<p>They wanted to charge thousands of euros for a similar solution.  Thousands.   Seriously, the staging area <em>is in the next room.</em></p>
<p>The IT department is actually outsourced to another company owned by the same parent company.  They offer shit service at a high price, and using them is mandatory.  I can&#8217;t say their name, but I say that it rhymes with this:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/">LinuxHater</a> has very good points, a lot of the the time, and about a lot of things.  I was actually starting to get used to the idea of not running a Linux desktop.<br />
After the big computer rebuild, the machine was running better, but still had some slow areas.<br />
I realised it had accumulated a lot of cruft! Lots of badly un-installed software that you thought you had uninstalled, there were a tonne of services starting up that just no longer required at all!<br />
Well, that&#8217;s no real difference to something LinuxHater accused Linux of having to do: namely, get stuck in and maintain your distribution.  </p>
<p>I actuality, I wonder if the LinuxHater really runs windows at all, something I&#8217;ve always assumed, and I bet I wasn&#8217;t alone in doing so.</p>
<p><b>Update:</b> Turns out he does, a <a href="http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/2009/08/suggestions-box.html">Ubuntu desktop</a></p>
<p>Because honestly, sometime I really hate computers.  You know?  Why can&apos;t they Just Work.  This is usually when people tell me to try a Mac.  I&apos;ve thought about it so much, but I never quite get to the point of actually doing anything about it.</p>

<p>To me, that line seems to sum up a lot of what is good and bad about Linux.<br />
Have fun fixing your sound cards all weekend. I&apos;m out.

<p>Have to say I agree with you there brother.<br />
It&apos;s great that it&apos;s so easy to compile from scratch if you need to, you ought not to have to do it all the time.</p>
