I personally used to be very much more forum oriented. However, I now
find all I want in the lists; which are much more specific, and just as

I hasten to point out that freeware is not free software; in any way.
Free software is a system of morals and ethics which somehow results in
much of the software involved being free - as in price - to use.
Freeware only implies the latter, and implies not the former.

It looks like your router is at 192.168.1.1
Go there in a web browser, and see what the router console says.

Personally, I think Linus is being short-sighted. When we have much,

USB drives as extra hard drives, ie (hd0) is the main drive, (hd1) the
first USB.
