In my ventures with computers and my getting into the unix type operating systems i came to realize that routers and switching cores are simply computers programed in a certin way and well that got me thinking why cant i do that with one of the many computers that are currently behind me in my closet and making
a sea of compenonts on my floor.

i did some searching (aka i googled it) and i came up with little results

now i know that this is aplicable i would just really appreciate it if some one would be kind as to point out a simple way of doing it or some software or coding that could help me.
(i already broke one of my 10 based with coax nic cards and im not really up for trashing much more)
any input would be great
