[CS-FSLUG] Networking two Linspire boxes

[Jerry Van Brimmer]

Another approach would be to put an extra, el-cheapo, nic card in each box and use a
crossover cable to get the two boxes to see each other. I have not done this myself,
but I have read that it's easy. On second thought, I guess it would only be easy if
the two boxes are close enough together to connect a cable between them. Just a
thought.
