Of course you never did explain why, when you are running Linux, you thought you needed one of these over priced pieces of obsolete technology. You have a much more capable and secure firewall router, traffic shaper, URL filter, IpSEc, Logging, Dhcp Server, with ntp support, VPN, SAMBA etc, etc,etc SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!.

That I know but as I have 4 pc's to handle not one, this solution is fine for me

Also remember writing in capital letters is considered rude.

You made your point, without the capitals after the etc, etc, etc

Thanks again guys, also to them that wrote directly to my email address.

Ok continuing with this question and in agreement with Stanley's remarks about rude, arrogant and unnecessary CAPITAL letters remarks, I would like to say that if everybody was an expert, there would be little point on keeping a list like this. I you (the screaming one) consider that it is just too unbearable to see somebody that doesn't know or know different about something please, just do not answer back, simple! At the moment Im also using one of these D-link routers "firewalls" which I will like to replace with a two nic linux box exclusively acting as a firewall and perhaps dhcp server. As I don't have lots of money I was thinking on using for this purpose and old pentium II 64MB RAM with 4GB hard disk I have under my bed. Last night I tried to install SuSE 9 but the computer could not handle it. I know I have very little RAM and so on but I wonder if it is possible to install a *really* minimal system for this box (without X obviously and so on) so it can get the firewall-routing-dhcp work done. Thanks for your important opinions, Felipe.
