My only comment is that for a lite (but not free) home version a DHCP server is useful.
I orignally used the lite version at home (and since I purchased the full version for our network at work the philosopy of providing the lite version for free seems to have proven itself). I now use a sonicwall/10 (mostly because I liked the size)at home. The one thing I like about the sonicwall is the DHCP server. At work it is easy to make some random server provide DHCP but at home I had a two computer peer-to-peer network and DHCP is nice. As long as the lite version is free this is not an issue but if a low cost home version is released a DHCP server would be nice. That said, one thing I like about a two floppy system is that I can write protect the boot floppy with the system files on it. This provides a bit more security.
