Pshaw. Really? A little Pentium 166 w/32MB ram can easily handle being a router for over 100 clients.

It is a full linux kernel and distro, and it has a pretty comprehensive package repository--databases, web servers, samba, even asterisk... you name it, it's probably in there (minus games, and desktop environments most likely). /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
