OK, I'm in a strange mood today, I'll bite. %-) LEAF is a lot more versatile hardware and configuration wise. LEAF is easily upgradable and patch-able when security concerns pop up. Hardware failure is easier to fix (and cheaper). You can fit it in a box ~9"x20"x1 3/4". You have complete control. Most of the firewalls we use are more secure than the lower end "equivilents" if seen from commercial companies. You can also learn a lot about Linux. Check Jack C's FAQ in the LEAF FAQ section for more reasons and explanations. ;) -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
