Personal Telco (aka Russell) uses OpenWrt. He does his own builds, and is on the developer list(s). I.e. we have an expert in our midst. Much less of an endorsement is that I am relatively familiar with LuCI, the web front end that comes standard with OpenWrt. I installed an N600 running OpenWrt at our office last summer. I also have OpenWrt running on the WRT54GL in three locations, including here at home. The bottom line is that if you use OpenWrt, you'll have someone local to ask questions should the need arise. galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
