I am looking for a router with the following characteristics:
* No wifi
* 4 gigabit LAN ports
* 1 WAN port to connect to my Cox Cable Modem
* 400 MHZ+ processor so I can run OpenVPN SSL for a max of 4 remote users
to access the LAN at the same time.
The last point comes from reading various forum
Thanks, buddy!

howtogeek.com has a number of articles about adding different desktops to
Ubuntu and ubuntu supports you having as many as you want. Once you have
selected one at the login screen, it will use that one until you change

Yes, either use "metacity --replace &" to kill compiz (and unity), or I

I tried out the new unity interface and found it to be useable, if a bit
stupid. You can use pretty much any desktop environment and window manager
your heart desires. The old gnome is still available. That's what I'm
using right now.

CAN you get Ubuntu to NOT use that stupid unity interface? (Goodness,
people, this is a desktop computer, NOT a phone!)
I stopped using anything Ubuntu newer than 10.10 as soon as I saw the

From a new user perspective, mint (or others) may be better
out-of-install, but a lack of features like install methods for

I can understand the desire for a laser printer. With one there isn't
the need for expensive paper when printing pictures. Great results can
be had with ordinary paper. Also I've been told it's cheaper to print a
page of text with a laser printer vs an ink jet printer.

They have products that can turn a parallel port into wifi like from edimax.
The problem is they don't make them anymore which makes them hard to find and
they probably cost 100 dollars or more.

Thanks for all the responses.
Yes, getting one wireless already would be best.

It's an HP LaserJet 4 and yes, it has been a reliable workhorse.
But it's just a printer, so I'm hoping to find

Oh, yeah, there's a 4th option: get a printer that has wireless
already. I have an Epson workforce 610 that works fine with linux and
has wireless (but I'm not using the wireless part).

I'd say you've got 2 options, or maybe 3:

Yeah, I've got one of those netgear routers - too bad I don't need to
run a printer from it J
But that doesn't really solve Joe's problem. He needs to hook the
printer to his current wireless network. Adding another wireless
network probably won't help you, though.

Yes, Simply unplug it... sorry had to... HP and a few others make wireless
print servers. Some netgear routers have USB port's on them to allow you to
host the printer on your router.
