My home network is made up of single desktop machines, running Debian GNU/Linux, and an EEE PC laptop. The desktop machine is on all the time, and the laptop is primarily used when I want to sit in front of the TV and work, or in bed!
The machines are:
- birthday.my.flat
This is the main desktop machine, which has:
- 4Gb memory.
- 2 x 500Gb drives.
- AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 425 Processor
It was purchaed around 9th March 2010, from Novatech.
- lappy.my.flat
This is a low-end EEE PC.
My internet gateway is an 8 port Linksys FEFSR81 router, it is small, quiet, blue, and mostly reliable.
The machines are setup as a flat C class network, or in CIDR notation a /24.
- domain name:
- my.flat

- 192.168.1.1-99

The network diagram looks like this:
