I prefer the openness of the OpenWrt development and the massive selection of packages, though I have very limited experience with ddwrt. I spend a lot of time working on OpenWrt, sort of an edge developer. Using, build-testing, minor bug fixing. If you are doing "standard" things and need or want a pretty interface, ddwrt is probably going to do fine for you. I personally don't like ddwrt's "activation" meme. To me, it violates the spirit of FOSS even if it is waved or easy to evade. OpenWrt runs on practically everything (that linux can run on and that has >=4M of flash), you can easily check it out and compile it yourself. To me, it is extremely flexible and has good developer support. There is a pretty web interface called luci, though I don't use that either, so I can't characterize it. -- Russell Senior, Secretary [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
