Yeah, old hardware is fun to tinker with :) I got this machine for free |
| 10 |
from my roommate so I figure what the heck, let's put Gentoo on it! |
| 11 |
That does sound like a cool idea - hadn't thought of trying NFS. How |
| 12 |
would one do something like that? I imagine you still need a harddrive |
| 13 |
in there to get the boot process going (to start up grub) and then you |
| 14 |
could configure grub to do the rest of the NFS stuff? This box doesn't |
| 15 |
offer anything else like PXE, booting from USB. It doesn't even have a |
| 16 |
CD-ROM or a floppy. Just a hard drive! |

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people |
| 23 |
for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him |
| 24 |
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were |
| 25 |
not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received |
| 26 |
mercy, but now you have received mercy. ~1 Peter 2:9-10 |
