just out of curiousity, id like to set something like
this up and play with it. any good reading/how to out
there on this? i could prob do it without one but then
im basicaly lazy, why reinvent the wheel if ya dont
have to, and i might miss learning something that
somebody has already figured out. also, what
software/distro do you recomend doing it with, and any
do you really strongly not recomend?
