Hey guys,

I've got an old dell laptop D505, which linux will work great on that as Ubuntu doesnt wanna load onto it. i heard theres a why to use IpCop to get more connections to SAIX news servers, I know some people wont tell others how to do this, but i dont know anything about IPCop, i just know you need an old pc, which is the laptop. Lol. Thanks
 
You probably could run it on the laptop but you dont necessarily need Linux as far as I know, I use VMware on my machine but I dont think we are allowed to discuss it ;) (the 32 connections)

The issue with IPCop is that it is a firewall/router distribution, which means it would be useless on any machine that doesn't have 2 or more network cards, so unless you wanna get a pcmcia network card as well, it won't really be worth your time. However if you do wanna give it a try, it is very easy to set up and comes with a nice web administration page so you don't have to get into the nitty gritty linux stuff.

As for the news server connections, I've never really used news servers myself, so I don't really know anything about it. Best bet is to try google.
