i have considered using a linux box as my firewall
router etc... the first problem is that i really dont
know that much about Linux. i am also required by work
to have a good firewall and protection at all times
since i connect directly to work etc... and i need
wireless etc...
my Linksys hub is only a few months old and a port has
failed causing me disconnect issues etc...
as i get more confident in Linux i may use it as the
firewall/router and put it on the internet , but , as
of now i dont think thats such a good idea for me.
thanks for the input
