BYO Linux Router To Australia's Fibre Network

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."

Dont laugh, I've already soldered an RJ45 connection to the iron. The cat is next.

I think soldering an RJ45 to your cat will probably kill it.

I case I misunderstood you, ironing your cat will also kill it.

linux users will also still be able to use the national electricity network to power their devices.

We had this pot belly stove in the corner of the living room and during the summer the cat loved to use it to survey the room at eye level but when we used it for the first time in the autumn there was this horrible screech and the cat rocketed across the living room, into the kitchen and stopped, buffing, under the kitchen table.

The treatment for burns is immediate immersion in cold water and fortunately the bath was half full so I picked up the cat and started to "immerse" the patient in the water. I tell you, the resulting scratches lasted months.
