> for some people the fun is just in learning, not necessarily doing the state of the art things.
Over a decade ago, when I was just learning Linux, I set out on a quest to turn a CentOS box into a router that could perform NAT between two different networks. I spent an entire weekend researching and following every suggestion I could find until it finally worked. I was so proud when my pings reached their respective destinations.
I took it apart the next day and never did anything more with it, but the journey and the reward was the fun of it.
