My parents gave me the old computer they had lying around the house. I want to bring up to school with me and turn into my linux playground to expand my knowledge. However, I also want to be able to tunnel my traffic through it (SSH), and be able to remotely control it (VNC?) I will be connecting it to a linksys wrt54g running dd-wrt through a constant connection.
Ideal situation, I will be able to securely use the internet at starbucks by tunneling through this computer. I will be able to remotely connect to it to retrieve homework, music files, etc. It wont use power until I need it to (is this called WakeOnLan?)
Any help you guys can give me to help me with the questions/ideas above would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
