I reckon it is worth spending a little more to get a router with NAT and the ability to create pinholes.
If you are using KDE I would recommend using Kontact for your PIM. I have used both Kontact and Evolution with KDE and now prefer Kontact.

I�m running XMMS now as a music player, and using GRIP for putting music on my machine (music is important!) Will try: evolution as a mail client (seems very popular) Mozilla as a browser (I am getting rendering errors using Mambo CMS... the editor is not working quite correctly in Mambo 4.1.1RC4). I am getting ADSL installed on Monday through Telecom... 256/128 and 10GB package. I don�t have an ADSL router yet (there are 3 computers in the house). I have looked at a Web Excel router for NZ$110 that has 4 ports. It doesn�t have a built in firewall is the only thing that I can see isn�t so good. Any comments? Regards... (day 3 of using Linux on a desktop!) Dave www.davemateer.com
