Actually what you're asking for has been out for quite some time, They
call it "linux"*grin*
Everything that is "shoehorned" onto the STN disk can be configured or
compiled into linux.
After all STN is linux.......with some added niceties and a windows
configuration/disk creation front end.
As a router STN works great......start adding all the other functions,
and things might just get a bit slow on older hardware.
A major selling point of STN is it's simple hardware
requirements.(wondering how... a print server, cacheing proxy, and
whatever else....would run on a 386/16 with 8 megs of ram ).
*big grin*
Get the idea???
I myself run STN on an old 386 notebook with docking station(2 ISA
slots), and it does what's it's intended to do very well, but I
certainly wouldn't want to bog this "old junker" down with any other
apps or deamons.....as far as other servers go they could be placed on
other machines and STN(or direct) routeing modified to point to these
services running on machines better suited to the the job.
