This isn't directly Linux related, but does pertain to computers that
run Linux.
I want to run some computers in the back room of my house, but because
my house was built in 1960 I don't have ground wires, only polarized two
prong sockets. I know that I could cheat and just skip the ground prong
connection on a new socket but I want to "do the right thing" and
actually have a grounded outlet for use with the computers.
I have several options for some of the sockets but not all. One is to
drill through the backside into the adjoining closet and run the wire up
from there. The other I thought of was to put ground wires behind the
baseboard and bring them up into the socket from there. I'm not sure how
an electrician would do it, probably go into the attic and drill down
into the wall. All the house wiring runs through the attic down to the
walls.
Has anyone had a wiring retrofit done? Any suggestions?
