I use Charles' dachstein distro, which boots off a CD (no hard disk to hack) and reads config off of a floppy. If you have an old underpowered box which has a bootable CD, and a couple of NICs, you can get it running in an hour or two ..
Thanks for that. It's interesting. But I guess the thought was that if, for say $100 or so I could get a router, which would...I hope...do the job I'm after, then I could really make use of the notebook - underpowered though it may be (I think it's a 700MHZ PIII) on the road.

HI, Y'all. Right now I have three machines on my network; a 7.2 gateway machine running forwarding and masq whose sole purpose is to dial out to the world over ISDN, and the two machines I use on a daily basis.
I've now got DSL, and the gateway is configured for ISDN. Rather than upgrading the 7.2 to 8 and continuing to use this setup, I'm thinking about a getting a router to do it and bringing the gateway machine (it's a notebook) home and using it for basic stuff with Suse 8.0.
I'm in Germany. My programmer just bought himself a router in the states and said it was basically plug and play: plug the DSL line into the router, plug the other machines into the router, let them get their IP addresses via DHCP (they already do) and basta.
Is this as simple as it sounds? Anyone in Germany have any router suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
nick
