[ale] Networking question

[James Sumners]

He is probably having to figure it out for homework.

One good reason for subnetting at home is for wireless and wired
connections. I a /27 network at home so that I can have 30 wired and
30 wireless hosts, as if I would ever need that many. It makes it a
lot easier to write an iptables to NAT both subnets; just have to
apply the rules to 192.168.1.0/24 to cover both subnets in one ruleset
;)

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
