<x-flowed>Ok, I'll give this a shot. Not that I've ever done this type of thing before.
A small business owner with some computer knowledge wants to connect his
LAN to the Internet. He is concerned about security, but he doesn't have a
fortune to spend. He investigates the possibilities. Most of them are out
of his price range, or not secure enough. Then he finds the LEAF project.
There are images for everything he wants to do. Lots of documentation is
available, and a box he is using for a door stop fulfills the hardware
requirements. He thinks to himself, why not give it a shot. He downloads an
image and follows the installation instructions. He can't believe it was
this easy. Still not believing his luck, he has some on-line security
scanning sites test his new box. The new box passes all the tests. Since
it's apparently secure he connects the box between his LAN and the ISP
connection. He still has doubts, about this old box handling the load.
After a couple of days his doubts are gone. The box is working beautifully,
and he didn't spend a dime.
The insecure or computer illiterate small business owner calls a consultant
on this list.

Do a search on "LinuxRouter" in the single page version (1.8MB). I want the
consultants to feel comfortable enough with this project to list LEAF
releases also.

How did I do?
