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

Well, not as "relative" hitech as the gadgets at the homes of certain doctors though :-"

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?

Thanks for the details - will wait for the other posts too.

These nifty little scripts and configurations. I made this post specifically to highlight the usefulness of resolvconf (automagiconfig of /etc/resolv.conf is always a pain in the butt) and guessnet.

Thanks for posting this. Now I know where to look when I get a laptop and wireless router :)

(Nono, I was joking to Natarajan.)

Actually there is other software out there that does laptop config etc., but it was a post by martin f krafft that prompted me to try guessnet first. No regrets ;). I'll do a compare one of these days but I might not post anything about it (I'm too lazy :D)/

Yeyyy you did it :) It must be a real relief and not to mention the satisfaction :)

Peace! Do they have reliable internet in palakollu (or wherever you are now)? ;) Reliable enough to prompt you to logon to LJ?
