Now that I am done with school and I have completed work on some money-earning projects, I am switching my focus to my pending personal projects:

• Changing server hardware – Something less power hungry than what I have now. More details later.
• Upgrading Fedora – Since I am changing hardware, taking the opportunity to upgrade Fedora. FC13 release is only a week away.
• A Django project – Still not sure what exactly I will do but I want something that takes advantage of the newly released 1.2.
• Network security – Research new (or new to me…) tools to enhance the security of my network.
• Studying new subjects – Things like SELinux and a refresh on iptables are on the table.

I plan on using this blog and the wiki to document throughout these next few months. Very excited/amped about this.

A few years ago I had an old computer lying around and decided to experiment by putting Linux on it to create a gateway which will host some servers, have DHCP and firewall capabilities.

I decided to write a q+d. how-to for my presentation in my CSCI 345 course (Computer Architecture III). I have since moved this article to the BFWorks wiki.

I will be presenting tomorrow so we will see how it goes.
