Already got backups? Jolly good, then the shortcut would be to say: sudo dpkg --get-selections > selections to save your package selections, and then when you're reinstalled & copied your data back, say sudo dpkg --set-selections and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
I'm not 100% sold on this idea, having been spoiled by Ubuntu and Debian supporting in-place upgrades, but it does have the advantage of avoiding breakage if the package maintainers didn't consider your particular edge case of dependencies or whatever.
You're supposed to use the backup utility to save your data and package choices, then do a clean reinstall and re-run the backup utility to restore everything.
FWIW adjusting for inflation (and why didn't you?) means your 1970 person would make $35336.47/yr or ~$17/hr today, giving an inflation-corrected increase of $4/hr.
Saturn failed because its executives didn't know how or were unwilling to play internal GM politics. Chevrolet and Pontiac kept getting new models while Saturn was left with old stuff and became uncompetitive.
By the Great Old Ones, have you the misfortune of trying to push out Flash Player using AD group policy? Have you seen the contortions you have to do to make it/work/? Ugh.
You really shouldn't be surprised. There are people who still blame Carter for various random things, after all, and even at the end of Bush the Lesser's admin one could regularly see certain people blaming Clinton for other things.
For a lightweight distro, it's pretty well thought-out and has some nice extras over a default Openbox install, plus the devs understand the concept of "discoverability" in that they have a list of keyboard shortcuts in the top-right by default. Unlike lighter distros, it's not crippled by being limited to whatever the devs and community can package up or you compile on your own (like, say, DSL or Puppy) since it's backed by the Debian archive.
This distro will work a treat for your old Pentium III laptop.
Netscape 6 was based on an early beta version of Mozilla Suite, somewhere between the last milestone release (M18) and the first real beta (0.7). In fact, IIRC the Mozilla team retconned v0.6 to match what AOL pulled for Netscape 6.0.
The first production-ready version of Mozilla-based Netscape was 7, I think, which was based on Mozilla 1.x.
OK, so you think kernel 2.6 wouldn't work so well with my hardware? Fair enough, it's pretty old.
I don't seen an obvious HOWTO on his webpage. Can I install his firmware by going into stock Tomato's interface for upgrading firmware, rebooting, and then clearing NVRAM?
Hmm. OK, I'm seeing several builds for routers in that family but no guidelines as to which will work on a real 54GL with 4MB of flash storage.
I'm interested in these features from build.png: IPv6, OpenVPN, kernel 2.6 if possible. That points me to using either the Max, miniVPN, or VPN-nousb builds. Of those, the MIPSR1 Max build is 5.8MB so too big. MiniVPN is 3.7MB so I suppose it'd fit, and for kernel 2.4 there's the VPN-nousb build at 3.4 MB.
I'm still using my 54GL with Tomato Firmware on it. Tomato seems to have died (last update for the mainline was in June 2010) but it seems fine, aside from not supporting newer things like IPv6 (software limitation), 802.11n, or GigE (hardware limitations), all of which are merely "nice to have" right now.
I do plan to replace the old beast, but will wait until my ISP finally brings out IPv6 support so that I can have the best possible router within my budget when that finally happens.
And now for some karma whoring^W^W^Wthe actual details:
The OpenWrt Release Team would like to announce the final Attitude Adjustment Release (12.09).
Highlights since Backfire 10.03.1: Dropped support for legacy Broadcom target (brcm-2.4) Switched to Kernel 3.3 Switched to uClibc 0.9.33.2 Switched x86 images from ext2 to ext4 filesystem Improved parallel building support New netifd implementation to replace the old script based network configuration system Switched to shadow passwords Support for external overlay filesystems in release images Various firewall enhancements Wireless driver updates and stability improvements Experimential support for 5 and 10 MHz channels in ath5k and ath9k Package updates and dependency fixes New target support: ramips, bcm2708 (Raspberry Pi) and others Support for further router models Support for building with eglic instead of uClibc Support for 6RD configuration Support for bridge firewalling in release images
Known Issues: Most open tickets at the time of the final builds Lower end devices with only 16 MiB RAM will easily run out of Memory, for bcm47xx based devices is Backfire with brcm-2.4 recommended

Per Westegg's inflation calculator, $3.70 in 1970 would be worth $20.54 in 2010.

That thing about FDR's certainly what conservatards like to tell themselves, yes.
Check out the Kansas/Missouri border. We've got a couple second-tier state universities here that'll do you for maybe $10k/year with everything.

If you add Romney and Paul together, you get a pretty good majority.
I think the man's entirely responsible for his choice of running mates, TYVM.

It is in the sense that it's a well-understood problem compared to newer stuff whose failure modes and needs are less well-understood.
In terms of absolute reliability, not necessarily or even at all.
That should surprise exactly no one.

I don't think many people used Netscape 6.

Routers don't get their kernels or distributions updated all that often, so a kernel being LTS probably doesn't matter in this space.
My 54GL still has a 2.4.20 kernel.
Your mother is still a whore, and I can spell "asshole" without looking like a naughty 12-year-old boy.

So the Pi could be a wireless access point. Those only need 1x Ethernet + wireless.
Some people don't use wired Ethernet anymore.
