That panel connected to a 10/100 switch, which connected to the G3. Dad had installed a second Ethernet card in the G3, and we ran the VICOM Internet Gateway software on it to bring Internet access to the rest of the computers in our home.</p><p>But this setup had two problems - first, the G3 had to be on if we wanted to use the Internet from any other machine. And second, running the Internet Gateway software on it slowed it down quite a bit, to the point where Dad was getting frustrated when he was trying to, you know, actually _use_ the computer.</p><p>Meanwhile, I'd been reading online about these “linux servers" and decided we needed one to dedicate as our Internet gateway. And so one day, after school, I got a ride to a mom-and-pop computer shop in town and picked up an old Packard Bell tower - the same model in Action Retro's video - and brought it home with me. I think I only paid around 25 or 50 bucks for it, no monitor or peripherals, just the tower.</p><p>I settled on a Linux distribution called "ClarkConnect” (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20010204025700/http://www.clarkconnect.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/2001020402</span><span class="invisible">5700/http://www.clarkconnect.org/</span></a>) - downloading the ISO, burning a CD, and installing it onto the Packard Bell machine. I moved the second Ethernet card from the G3 into the new system, and put it under Dad's desk in the living room.</p><p>It had some pretty cool features including a web server (where I put family photos up so the relatives could see them), and both Samba and Netatalk servers for file sharing support, making it really easy to transfer files between all the machines on our home network. I'm sure it was terribly insecure though - I didn't really know anything about Linux server adminstration, I mainly just followed tutorials that I read online.</p><p>And it ran, pretty reliably, all the way until 2004 when it got replaced by a Belkin Wi-Fi router. We took it to electronics recycling. And like all the old systems we had at the time, I wish I still had it today. Always loved the design of that case.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a></p> @smallsco @ActionRetro ClarkConnect!! Hadn't thought about it in over 10 years but remember using it too. It was really useful
