It is connected properly. Everything I have is 1GB now. When I got |
| 40 |
fiber internet, I had to upgrade everything. With the old DSL, well, |
| 41 |
even a 10MB card would have worked. lol |

See other reply that has more info. I'm pretty sure it is the |
| 44 |
encryption maxing out the CPU. It's really the only thing that is |
| 45 |
working hard. Everything else seems to be doing more waiting than |
| 46 |
anything. |

I just might find a simple distro that I can install on that thing. |
| 49 |
Honestly, I don't really care what is on it as long as it does what I |
| 50 |
want and I can figure out how to make it work easily enough. Still, I |
| 51 |
wouldn't want Gentoo on a rig that slow. I wouldn't have GUI stuff like |
| 52 |
KDE, Firefox, libreoffice on it so that would save a lot of time but |
| 53 |
still, even a headless machine would require some compile times. Heck, |
| 54 |
Ubuntu, Arch or any number of other distros would likely work just |
| 55 |
fine. Mostly, I need a better CPU. If I encrypt anyway. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
This will work for the time being. Now that I figured out how to make |
| 58 |
it work. ROFL |
