Whilst true in general, that specific feature is found in many consumer level routers. What I like about linux based DHCP servers is they remember leases over restarts!
Back on topic - I recently switched my server from XP to Linux, and while it's certainly gone more smoothly than last time I ran a Linux box (Suse 7 I think it was, years ago) it's still not quite plug & play, and I use Solaris & Linux every day at work! Running a headless version certainly saves a bunch of memory and that's something you can't do with XP, and in general apt-get is pretty awesome. Until it doesn't have what you want :( Personally I'd say stick with what you know unless you want to go on the learning exercise (which is fun, if you like that kind of thing!)...the machine you describe should run SC just fine on XP or Linux. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49951 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
