It contains everything I need for managing my personal and client projects, including a task manager, calendar, contacts, web links, documents, presentations, time tracking, and more. I definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a free and open source project management application to take a look at OpenGoo.

For more information about OpenGoo be sure to check out their website.

The thing that’s great about this router is it actually allows you to install your own custom firmware (Such as DD-WRT) to it. In fact, the only reason I bought this particular router was for that reason alone. I now have my own personal network setup in my room that connects my laptop, home server, and desktop all together. I setup DD-WRT to connect to my main router via wireless in repeater mode, and also have it broadcasting it’s own SSID that I connect my wireless devices to. The setup I have now would not have been possible without DD-WRT and all it’s awesomeness, if you’re looking for having complete control over your router I recommend using DD-WRT with the Linksys WRT54GL router.

Everything is running great so far. My laptop has 3GB of RAM and windows 7 with aero on, high performance power setting, and my anti-virus and firewall (ESET) running takes up only 700 MB of system memory, that’s some great optimization. I plan on giving the 64-Bit version a try on my desktop computer to see how it runs.
