Hey guys, thanks for all the Linux suggestions, but I need a ready-made black box for a friend in B'lore. If I'd wanted to know how to do it on Linux I wouldn't have put [OT] in the subject line :) This is a non-technical mom and pop shop who just need a black box they can plug into the network(s), get the sales or support guy to configure once and then forget about it. No R&D, and I'm not going to be next door to them to sort out Linux problems if they face them, so the dumber the better. A Netgear or something that suits their needs would be ideal.
