Not all those who wander are lost

I keep moving between various work/home locations and [sub-]networks where I use wired or wireless access

My laptop, wireless router are lying unused at home. I am so very comfortable with my Desktop alone.

Thanks for the post, I might just have bits flying all over my house soon.

Unless your laptop isn't as powerful, I say it is mighty convinient with some other add-ons, like a docking station at work and a good KVM switch at home :-)

The KVM switch is a nice idea. Should try it out. Thanks a lot. All this, only after I increase my usage of the laptop :)

An extra 'puter is always good if you want to do development that can destroy stuff. Do you run unstable that is frequently upgraded?

Do you run unstable that is frequently upgraded?

I am on dialup (thats the only viable option at Hosur). So, I run only stable at home :(. But as you said another 'puter is handy in case you do destructive stuff.

At office the situation is better, I have access to local Ubuntu and Debian stable repositories. But I can't get my personal laptop in :(

I don't have a laptop and wireless router, being poor and penniless and all that. You don't mind donating those to a poor impoverished programmer, do you? ;)

[appaji]

If he does mind donating those to poor impoverished programmers, I think I'll ask him if he doesn't mind donating it to a not-too-poor not-so-impoverished programmer like me ;)

I am a poor impoverished programmer myself, unaware of my strengths hitherto (just like Hanuman) :)
