<snip> If you decide to build your own, I recommend using DansGuardian. Works
well, and is very easy to install. As for the Linksys, is stores everything in the NVRAM. I don't know if the factory firmware allows you to mess with that, but the OpenWRT seemds to work well. I have been meaning to look into some kind of filtering for it, but alas, I have no time. I am pretty sure that Dansguardian will not work with out modification to the box, it uses a lot of disk space, and the WRT54G only has 8-16MB depending on the model. Dallin
I've built a couple of DansGuardian boxes and they worked pretty well. I found that IPcop.org was easier to build and maintain than the smoothwall.org version. I second the comment of DDWrt being a very good firmware to stick on your linksys router. The mesh-networking was very nice to get working. Happy tweaking.
