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. (Personal
preferences may differ)

Subject:        Mandrake Applications + ADSL

Many thanks to everyone who replied about applications!

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!)
