Quoting "John H. Robinson, IV" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
This means putting something like RHEL or Debian Stable on it. If you are putting Gentoo or Fedora on it, then, really, you deserve to have your internet go down. Seriously.
Well.. Personally I avoid RH anymore.. but that's not what I meant really. I tend to tinker with hw too much, and upgrade way more then I really need to... or just want to try completely new distros from time to time. I do the latter on my gamebox now (which doubles as my dev box).
I also like having the router because even if I were to miss a patch for a php hole or something.. odds are noone will be able to exploit much since the ports aren't viewable from the net, iptables or not on the server.
