By a series of events during move out from college, i got my hands on a linux based box. It is a Cobalt RaQ 3, and I want to use it to catch the signal from my wireless router downstairs and connect my cluster computer to the internet. It has a PCI slot, so this is doable, but I cannot even get into the console to see whats going on. Apparently I have to SSH into it, but i do not know how to. Anybody care to lend advice?

Download putty, connect to its ip address. Go from there with aid of the docs.

Sounds like you got your hands on a great firewall.

ok what do you guys say if i take the hard drive out, put it in a temporary machine, install Gentoo, and put it back in? would that work?

Why not install OpenBSD instead?

which is best? see, im not familiar with linux, my buddy from whom i got the box from suggested Gentoo as easy to learn the right way, instead of thru shortcuts.

I suggest Arch Linux (www.archlinux.org). It's easier to maintain and you don't have to compile stuff all the time.
Very lightweight and fast.
