BYO Linux Router To Australia's Fibre Network

Posted by timothy on from the please-live-near-the-coast dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Run a Linux router to connect your ADSL service but worried about what will happen when the Australian Government rolls out fibre broadband to your house or business? Worry no more. It turns out that customers on Australia's new National Broadband Network will be able to run their own homebrew Linux router to connect to the network and route traffic any way they please."

    Well, since we are all way off topic anyway - my brother in law always bragged about his welding skills. He SAID he could weld a cat's ass to a pine board. The man never demonstrated that ability, but I pictured the scene in my mind every time I heard him bragging. I never got beyond the part where he might choose to attach his leads to a semi-conductive cat or a non-conductive pine board. Either he's just another dumb redneck, or he's a HELL OF A LOT smarter than I am! ;^)
