There's still a lot of debate for IT folks about open source licenses are better depending on which camp you're in. But to clarify the differences here are the two following links on both...

Well once again I was looking at what to post on this blog, so a friend suggested I post about how I flashing a router with alternative firmware (thanks Scott). I had been given a router and I usually put a linux based firmware, if at all possible. Well I did some digging around on some of my favorite sites for doing that, so one of the sites I was looking at was http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index and those are one of the best sites for loading alternative firmware on routers. But in this post we'll be using the router I was given to make this as easy as possible. Which will be cisco valet m10 router....
1. Download the appropriate firmware for the appropriate router.
2. I reset the router to its original factory settings by getting some to press down the reset button in the back of the routers. The username is empty and the password is admin
3. I clicked on my browser (any browser will do).
4. I typed in 198.168.1.1 which is the IP to all cisco and linksys routers.
5. Which when the router has been reset, no security will be present so once you put in the IP to the router it'll take you to menu that's present on the router.
6. Look for the section that says upgrade update in it
7. Click on the browse button and select the firmware where ever it may be stored at.
8. Then click on the update button below it.
9. Once finished you'll still be in your newly updated with the new firmware
10 next make a name for your router
11. Then create a new username and password for your router
12. Once you've done that you'll have a lot more to play with in the new operating system also known as firmware.
Thank you for your time and feel free to contact me at anytime and I'll try to answer questions in a timely fashion. Also if you found this blog post helpful please consider a small donation....
I was recently asked about how to record with a dvr ( digital video recorder ) on any television provider we want or if we decide to change providers. The operating system you will need is mythbuntu and with some specialized hardware and this operating system you'll be able to record any TV show or movie that you want, that comes on the provider of your choosing. The good think about mythbuntu is it's highly customizable and works with almost ever cable and sattalite provider out and the list of providers is growing. Now you'll need some special hardware like a rf antenna and so on for this to come to be check out the site for further information
