Thanks a lot to everyone for their help with this. I'm realizing that OpenWRT has a lot of flexibility and a lot of the complication that goes along with it. I'm surprised that one of the few distros which is primarily for router devices is so flexible. I was thinking that since the hardware OpenWRT is typically run on is less complicated than a desktop's, and the use of that hardware is less complicated than a desktop's, the distro itself would also be more simple to install and configure than the most popular Linux desktop distros like Ubuntu. Is there another Linux router distro that is more plug and play? Please let me say that I will never use Ubuntu or anything similar on the desktop, but I'd like something plug and play like that for my router. - Grant _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
