Mutants
- Old PC:
Scrape together an old PC, get a wireless PCI card, and voila!
Boot medium can be an old harddisk, floppy, CDROM, or FlashCard.
For now, we will use harddisks while we are still learning the
setup. This is the natrual precursor to using embedded systems. There are PCCARD
to PCI converters to aid in making a ghetto box. Otherwise an
old laptop would work... must have Ethernet.
